Jaswant Thada: Memorial in Marble

Located next door to Jodhpur's prime attraction the Mehrangarh Fort, is the marble memorial Jaswant Thada.  It is actually a royal cenotaph, a tomb of a dead person but the actual remains are buried elsewhere.

Since the memorial is entirely made of marble, it is cool inside.  This works well in a country which has a really hot climate. Visit Jaswant Thada and marvel at its beautifully hand carved marble walls and ceilings.
