Other than the history which is attached to this Thada or Platform,people go there to catch a view of the town of Jodhpur.Jaswant Thada is also the place where the last rites of the royals are performed.The majestic Mehrangarh Fort stand nearby.

Not too much to see here, it's a peaceful area and nice and quiet. If you're in the neighbourhood I suppose it's a visit but if you're on a budget you're not missing much.

as you will already be going to see the fort it is worth a visit and the tickets are linked so go for it, I found the portraits of all the previous rulers presumably how they saw themselves / wanted to be seen quite interesting, peaceful clean gardens and lake to look at

Not much to view here except the temple and garden to provide respite from the heat. This is adjoining the cremation area.

This is classical Rajput architecture carved out of white marble. It's a beautiful spot to visit and the carving and sculpture is lovely.
