Built entirely in milky-white marble, Jaswant Thada is better known as the Taj Mahal of Rajasthan. Marvel at its exquisitely carved gazebos and lovely domes, illuminated by the sun’s rays during the day. A peaceful escape from the buzzing blue city, it is located to the left of Mehrangarh Fort and was built as a memorial to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. A classic example of Rajputana architecture, this royal mausoleum houses an impressive collection of paintings of the Rathore clan and stunning sculptures and frescoes. A must-see for history buffs, the monument is one of the major landmarks in the blue city.Refrain from posting comments that are obscene, defamatory or inflammatory, and do not indulge in personal attacks, name calling or inciting hatred against any community.
