See Jaswant Thada, Jodhpur, India
The Jaswant Thada is an architectural landmark located just outside of the Blue city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It is a white marble memorial built by Sardar Singh in 1899 in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
The Jaswant Thada mausoleum is completely built out of intricately carved sheets of marble. These stones are extremely thin and polished so that they emit a warm glow when the sun's rays dance across their surface.
Within this cenotaph, there are also two more tombs. The Jaswant Thada is a traditional cremation ground of Jodhpur rulers. The grounds also include exquisitely carved gazebos, a beautiful multi-tiered garden, and a small lake.
