Fort-unately majestic. Jaswant Thada and Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Looking for a taste of royal Rajasthan? Come to Jodhpur and witness the majestic duo of Jaswant Thada and Mehrangarh Fort! Perched atop a rocky hill towering over 122 metres above the plains, Mehrangarh Fort is among Rajasthan's largest forts. Constructed over a period of 500 years, starting in the mid-15th century, the fort showcases a diverse range of architectural styles spanning different epochs, even including elements from the 20th century. The fort boasts exquisite palaces and houses a museum with rare relics from Indian courtly life.

The Jaswant Thada, a cenotaph, was erected by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 for his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Serving as the cremation site for the royal Rajput family of Marwar, it is intricately made with carved sheets of Makrana marble, renowned for its delicate and polished appearance. The area surrounding the cenotaph has elaborately sculpted gazebos, a tiered garden and a lake. Are you ready to immerse yourself in the splendour of these regal gems?
