Bikaner Travel, Rajasthan |
The royal walled city of Bikaner, the northern most point on
the triangle of desert cities, was founded in 1488 AD., by Rao
Bikaji, a descendant of the founder of Jodhpur, Rao Jodha. Like
Jaisalmer, in the south, it was, once, an important trade centre.
The old city is bolstered, by 7 km long imposing walls, with
5 entrance gates, built in the 18th century. The fort and palace,
made of the same reddish-pink sandstone, as the famous structures
in Jaipur, lie outside the city walls. The influence of the
outside world is minimal here, and the traditional lifestyle
of yore endures.
A region coveted by several Rajput clans, Bikaner is well
known as the land of the finest riding camels, in the world.
Home to the famous Camel Research Centre, Bikaner also has
several Jain temples and monasteries outside the fort.
