Bikaner
Bikaner is a vibrant, vivacious town with a distinct vibrancy. Locals from Jaisalmer frequent the area to see the various forts and exploration sites. The town which was once the capital of the princely state of Bikaner, is now Rajasthan's fourth-most populous city.
They welcome visitors from all over the world because of their warm culture and long historical heritage. This sandstone and dune-built city is commonly referred to as "camel country" since it is home to one of the biggest study farms in the world that raises the best specimens of the camel species.
Because of its beautiful forts, lush desserts, and desert safaris, Bikaner is emerging as a hidden gem in the Thar desert. Huge, stunning buildings that display the riches of their creators to visitors are all across the city. Even after being constructed over a lengthy period of time, these structures are still standing strong and unaffected by the passage of time. Including its historical attractions, the city draws foodies with its delectable fare.
At eight in the morning, the tour will start. You will be driven off directly by cab to the two other locations you will be visiting today, namely Junagarh Fort.
The Junagarh Fort
The impressive fort is surrounded by a moat. The palace complex has many stunning structures inside its boundaries. A stunning collection of kiosks, balconies, porches, and courtyards may be found in palaces constructed from red sandstone and marble.
Karni Mata Temple
This temple is arguably Bikaner's most well-known landmark. It is well known that many rats have made this sanctuary their home permanently. At this shrine, which dates back to the fourteenth century, the deity Durga's incarnation, Karni Mata is honoured. Many travellers from all over the world have been entranced by the grandeur and religious worship of rats.
Gajner Palace
This palace, which is located by a lake, is one of Bikaner's most well-known tourist destinations. Maharaja Ganga Singh Ji, the previous governor of the region of Bikaner, constructed the palace. In the past, the Maharaja of Bikaner and family members entertained guests at Gajner Palace and shared their love of hunting. It was constructed from red sandstone and is a superb work of craftsmanship. The palace's main attractions are its carved towers, jharokhas, and screens.
Shiv Bari Temple
About 6 kilometres away from Bikaner is the red sandstone Shiv Bari Temple. The temple, which itself is dedicated to Lord Shiva, is guarded by a high wall. In the temple, there is a magnificent wall mural of a Nandi bull standing in front of a Shiva Lingam.
Other notable features of the Shiv Bari Temple are the pavilion, the domes, and the exquisitely decorated columns. The devotees are fascinated and mesmerised by the statues of Lord Krishna and the "Gopis" on the exterior of the Shiv Bari Shrine Complex.
The day will begin with a tour to Bikaner's beautiful palaces and conclude with a trip to a well-known temple.
Lallgarh Palace
The Palace is a noteworthy piece of Bikaner's architecture. In the early 20th century, Maharaja Ganga Singh built this exquisite home. The mansion is a phenomenal location to enjoy your vacation as it has been transformed into a hotel. Visitors are drawn here by the location's rich Rajputana architecture and superb interior design.
Rampuria Haveli
The affluent Bikaner merchants spent several hundred years constructing the Rampuria Havelis. Bikaner's homes are far more than just wonderful works of art. They are the ideal representation of the deep artistic sagacity that our forefathers left us.
