The '''Jaswant Thada''' is a [[cenotaph]] located in [[Jodhpur]], in the Indian state of [[Rajasthan]]. It was built by [[Sardar Singh of Jodhpur|Maharaja Sardar Singh]] of [[Jodhpur State]] in 1899 in memory of his father,<br />
Maharaja [[Jaswant Singh II]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Jain|first=Ajay|title=Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tG9gAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT11|year=2013|publisher=Kunzum|page=11}}</ref> and serves as the cremation ground for the royal Rajput family of [[Marwar]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Sinha|first=Juhi|title=Beyond the Dunes: Journeys in Rajasthan|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FatlGxEWo3IC&pg=PA72|year=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=9780143063063|page=72}}</ref><br />
<br />
The cenotaph is built out of intricately carved sheets of [[Makrana marble]]. These sheets are extremely thin and polished so that they emit a warm glow when illuminated by the Sun.<br />
<br />
The cenotaph's grounds feature carved [[gazebo]]s, a tiered garden, and a small lake. There are three other cenotaphs in the grounds. The cenotaph of Maharaja Jaswant Singh displays portraits of the rulers and Maharajas of Jodhpur.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Indian Encyclopaedia: Indo-Pak War-Kamla Karri|author=Subodh Kapoor|year=2002|page=3755|quote= Jasvvant Thada, Close to the fort complex lies this white marble cenotaph, built in 1899, in commemoration of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.Rare portraits of Jodhpur's rulers are also to be seen at Jaswant Thada.}}</ref><br />
