Nestled in the midst of golden brown sandstone hills,
Jaswant Thada lies at a little distance from the Mehrangarh
Fort. Dedicated to the Rajput warrior and great king,
Maharaja Jaswant Singhji, Jaswant Thada was constructed
under the supervision of Maharaja Sardar Singh in 1899.
A royal cenotaph, Jaswant Thada is an elaborate and
ornate expression of Rajputana architectural imagination
and love for beauty. The main cenotaph is a massive
white marble temple like structure ornamented with sculptures,
friezes, domes, pillars and pavilions.
Separate sections are dedicated to the brave queens
and concubines who committed sati on maharaja Jaswant
Singhji's pyre. The entire monument glows in sunshine
as it has been constructed with marble sheets polished
to perfection.
