Jaswant Thada, Jodhpur

After an exhausting walk in the clossal Meherangarh Fort many people just skip visiting this elegant memorial. It is just one kilometer away from Meherangarh Fort. Its was built in 1899 as a memorial for Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. It looks best with its reflection in the small pond closeby.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, New Delhi

Every Sikh in Delhi must have visited the magnificent Gurudwara Bangala Sahib at least once. It is spacious like all Gurudwaras and gives a sence of peace. It was originally a bungalow owned by Raja Jai Singh Amber (Jaipur) who commanded great respect in the court of Emperor Aurangzeb . The eighth Guru Sri Harkishan had stayed here for a few months as guest of Raja Jai Singh. Since then it has become a place of pilgrimage for both, Hindus and Sikhs. The pool adjacent to the Gurudwara is like all pools in Gurudwaras said to be sacred. In those days Guru Harikrishan had cured people of small pox and other diseases. People till today wash themselves in the pool in hope of getting rid of any possible diseases.
