JASWANTTADA

The Jaswant Thada,located half way up the interminably long road that climbs onwards to the fort, is the traditional cremation ground of the rulers of Jodhpur. Taking pride of place amongst the ornamental gardens and chattris is the fabulous white marble. It was made by king Sardar Singh in 1906 in the memory of Kind Jaswant Singh II. Before Jaswant Singh II, the funeral of the kings was done in Mandore, but as per his wihses, Jaswant Singh II last rites were performed in the plains on the banks of Deo Kund, His memorial was later made here with a budget of Rs. 2,84,678. Since then, the funeral rites of all kings are performed here only. This beautiful building looks like a fairytale castle in the midst of the clouds. The best of the three buildings of Jodhpur-Mehrangarh, Umed Bhawan Palace and Jaswant Tada are living symbols of bravery and grandeur of Jodhpured in the medieval era.
This dastle sings the music of the morning with dawn and looks like a messenger of calm and peace in moon light. The building is made on a plateform of red sandstone. It has pictures of the Jodhpur rulers. half way up the interminably long road that climbs onwards to the fort, is the traditional cremation ground of the rulers of Jodhpur.
