Close to the fort complex, lies Jaswant Thada. This 19th century royal monument built in white marble in commemoration of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II and three other cenotaphs, stand nearby. The cenotaph of Maharaja Jaswant Singh holds the rare portraits of the rulers and Maharajas of Jodhpur . A visit inside the cenotaphs, with some villagers of the region, would bring forward the reverence they still hold for their brave kings.
