Jaswant Thada

The Jaswant Thada is a cenotaph located in Jodhpur, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 in memory of his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, and serves as the burial ground for the rulers of Marwar 

Unlike the Taj the Jaswant Thada is made of solid white marble (the Taj uses marble as a veneer) hence when sun light shines on the walls, the marble illuminates

This enormous wall surrounds Mehrangarh Fort......

 

Henna art is popular amongst the trendy young Indian women

This woman told me she did the artwork herself!
