Jaswant Thada, Jodhpur, India

Jaswant Thada is a mausoleum that neighbours the Mehrangarh Fort on some of the best real estate in all of Jodhpur, up high on the same hilltop. It was built in 1899 by the then Maharaja of Jodhpur in memory of his father. The building is not big but exquisite in its design and its details, surrounded by a beautiful formal garden, with some fantastic courtyard landings with magnificent views to the fort and over the stunning blue city of Jodhpur.

Within, the cenotaph is all marble surfaces and splendid simplicity, with minimal furniture and tasteful tributes to the deceased.
