Jaswant Thada Jodhpur, Rajasthan , India - FDArchitects - 08-01-2014

Famous Jaswant Thada is an example of architectural brilliance in Jodhpur, Rajasthan , India. It is a white marble memorial, built out of intricately carved sheets of marble. The carving shows the genius of the sculptors. These stones are extremely thin and polished. As a result, the outside surface of the monument emits a warm glow when the sunrays fall on its surface. There is also beautiful marble jali work on the cenotaph. You can have some nice views from the terrace in front of the cenotaph.
