Lovely horseback statue on a hill top overlooking the majestic mehrangarh fort. The statue is atop slippery rocks so one needs to be careful. You cant park alongside the road as the road is narrow towards the jaswant thada complex. Do not attempt to take your suv near to the statue as local police doesnt take it too well. Respect the local cultureYou should visit the statue preferably in evening as you can enjoy the sunset.Please do not litter. Parking is available at nearby jaswant thada parking lot.
Don’t miss it. You can see Mehrangarh and Jaswant Thada for this Statue Location.
Historic city of Jodhpur was founded by Rao JodhaRao Jodha shifted his capital from Mandore to Jodhpur in 1459 & built the Mehrangarh fort.After 554 years of its foundation, anequestrian statue of Rao Jodha was installed on 12th May 2012(554th Jodhpur Foundation Day)This statue made of ashtadhatu (blend of eight metals) is worth Rs 37 lakh.It is just next to Jaswant Thada & Rao Jodha is pointing towards Mehrangarh Fort.
Rather new to the Jodhpur scene is the recently inaugurated statue to Rao Jodha Ji, the founder of Jodhpur city in 1459, which is found on a small hilltop, along the road that leads to Jaswant Thada just after the turnoff to Mehrangarh Fort. You cant miss it, its on the right side of the road.The Rao Jodha Ji Statue faces towards Mehrangarh Fort, showing the city founder on horseback pointing in the direction of the fort. Its interesting enough for a quick stop before making your way to Jaswant Thada.If you are walking to Jaswant Thada, you will encounter a statue of Rao Jodha Ji just on the side of the road - simply walk up to the monument. If driving, it seems ok to just park your car there for a few minutes and walk up to the statue.
Rao Jodha Ji Statue is set on a small hilltop along the road that leads to Jaswant Thada (near the Mehrangarh Fort). It was built in the honour of Rao Jodha Ji, who founded the beautiful city of Jodhpur. The statue, depicts him on a horse, pointing towards the fort. A beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset..and get lovely silhouettes for photography

Nice Place For Visitors
Nice view with awesome statue of markable person in the history. Rao jodha ji 🙏🙏❣️
The tall statue of Rao Jodha Ji, founder of Jodhpur City is worth a look. Unveiled on the 554th Jodhpur Foundation Day on 12th May 2012, the statue is located close to Jaswant Thada.The statue is set on a small hilltop, from where the view of Mehrangarh Fort looks just amazing. The statue of the king on a horse, pointing at the Mehrangarh Fort is encircled by iron grills. Those photography enthusiasts can take a few clicks with the huge statue as a backdrop. It is also a great location for getting a fantastic view of the fort at a distance.
Beautiful statue close to Jaswant Thada, the burial ground of the Marwar rulers. One can get a nice view of the Mehrangarh fort from this location. There is also a stream or a small pond close to it, which was full of lilies and ducks when I visited. The city of Jodhpur can be viewed from a birds eye view on the way to this location. The statue can be seen on the way to Jaswant Thada.
Nice statue
The area and view is incredible but the guards over their are too irritating. They wont even let you click pictures peacefully. They are always staring at you like you are asking for their kidney.
Good place for traveling lovers

Mehrangarh fort, JodhpurA holy man sensibly advised Rao Jodha to move the capital to hilltop safety. By 1459, it became evident that a more secure headquarters was required. Chidia-tunk, a high rocky ridge, nine km to the south of Mandore was an obvious choice for the new city ofJodhagarh. The natural elevation was enhanced by a fortress of staggering proportions, to which Rao Jodhas successors added over the centuries. Jodhagarhwas on the importantDelhitoGujarattrade route and it greatly benefited from the trade of silk,opium,sandalwood, copper and other items. TheMehrangarhFort, situated on a 125 m high hill, is among the most impressive and formidable fortsinRajasthan. The construction of the fort was begun by Maharaja Rao Jodha in 1459 and was improvised byMaharaja Jaswant Singh(1637–1680).

Perhaps Rao Jodha was the founder of Jodhpur? The Statue is located in Jaswant Thada Complex near The Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur. From here one can view both Fort as well as Thada. Very little is known about this place which has good potential to attract tourists.
