Inspired by the love and reference of his Maharani, this beautiful Memorial in white marble often described as the Taj Mahal of Marwar, was built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh Ji ll, of Jodhpur (1873 -1895) by his son, Maharaja Sardar Singh Ji (1895 -1911), completed in 1906 AD. The last rites of the rulers, of Jodhpur, in the state of Rajasthan, India, were formally performed, at Mandore, the old capital of Marwar. After, Maharaja Jaswant Singh Jis demise, in 1895, and the completion of this monument, they have been performed here, at Jodhpur. The smaller Cenatophs, to East, mark the spots where his successors were cremated. The main Memorial, has been built like a temple, where Puja (ritual) ,is performed and photographs of the deceased rulers are displayed. The worship of ancestors, is common to the Rajput Clans.The mausoleum is built, out of intricately carved sheets of marble. These sheets are extremely thin and polished, so that they emit a warm glow, when illuminated by the Sun. After the merger of the states, the complex, remained the Exclusive cremation ground, of the Jodhpur royal family and until 1996, the monuments, were maintained by the state government. It is now entrusted, to the care of the Mehrangarh Museum trust. They have initiated a comprehensive Restoration, of the monuments, the Gardens and- Devkund, (the water bodies seen to the west of the complex), still used by the royal family for ritural bathing after cremation.
