About the city
This desert city of Rajasthan (India's north-western province) is an
eye-catching site of well-fed camels and citadels. Being near to Delhi, it
had to withstand the worst of Mughal invasions during earlier times.
The
exotic camel safaris, its gorgeous forts and the worship of thousands of
holy rats at Mata Kali temple are some of the most interesting aspects of
Bikaner. The camel festival held in the month of January is also an event
worth witnessing if one wants to get the actual color of the place.
About the Hotel
Built in the early 20th century by Seth Bhanwarlalji Rampuria it is one of
the most interesting havelis. The haveli follows no particular style of
architecture, instead it is a pot-pourri of indian and western styles.
