About Jaswant Thada, Jodhpur

The Marble Memorial of Marwar

A serene architectural masterpiece Jaswant Thada is a stunning 19th-century white marble cenotaph located in Jodhpur standing as a tranquil counterpoint to the towering rugged Mehrangarh Fort nearby. Often lovingly nicknamed the ‘Taj Mahal of Marwar’ this royal memorial was built in honour of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Its unique craftsmanship features exquisitely carved paper-thin Makrana marble sheets that glow with an ethereal warmth when illuminated by the sun offering a peaceful and highly photogenic glimpse into the history and reverence of the Rathore dynasty.
