Welcome to Bikaner.
Bikaner :
If you thrill
to the inexorable forces of nature, do not miss Bikaner. This is true desert
country. You much dismiss any picture post card ideas of the desert,

solid as brick, it is scrub country, not cactus land, gorse, thorn,
milk-weed sprout precariously and the earth is alive with brazen insects and
bolder birds. This is camel country. They transport grain, pull heavy carts,
work on the wells. Water lies sometimes 122 meters below the surface. Wells
are import, almost sacred built on high plaiths with slender minareted
towers on each of the four corners, and these wells proclaim their existence
from afar, like a shout of welcome.
The approach to Bikaner is bleak. The wonder is that men have chosen to live
here or have thought it worth while to risk their lives to win such a
kingdom. Rao Jodha Rathore of Marwar retrieved the fortunes of his clan and
founded the city of Jodhpur in 1459. He had five sons of whom Bikaji was the
most lively and enterprising. Bikaner is situated directly on the ancient
caravan routes that come from West/Central Asia. It was therefore a grate
centre of trade in the ancient world. This gave rise to a curious
phenomenon. The fortified city of Bikaner is encircled by imposing
battlement and stands on a slight eminence. Its roads undulate through
colorful bazaars and predominant hue of the buildings is the strong reddish
pink of local sandstone. Its is the fourth largest city of Rajasthan....
