Nice place, although may not be most hyped place in Jodhpur. The marble memorial is an architectural beauty. Even the exquisitely carved gazebos, a beautiful multi-tiered garden, and a small lake are a pleaure to the eyes. More

This is one of the most beautiful structures and grounds, really only surpassed by the Taj Mahal for the beauty of its white marble. It's hard to believe this is an ancient crematorium! The gardens in spring look like a Monet watercolor. More

This monument is within walking distance from the fort. Don't miss it. It does not take a lot of time to go through it. Excellent photo opportunities. You can see it from the fort (white colored monument). More

I was little disappointed with this place. With the amount they charge for the entry and camera, there is not much to offer here – especially when you visit after the fort. On a busy day, skip this one. More

The pigeons have made rather a mess of the floors! Nice spot but not the best we have seen. A good spot to take photos of the fort. More
