About the city
This city lies on the northern point of the triangle of desert
cities. Bikaner is another royal walled city dating back to 1486 AD. It was,
however, a major trade centre as it stood on the ancient caravan route which
linked central Asia and North India with the Gujarat seaports.
While
other cities of Rajasthan are rich in lakes and pleasure pavilions, Bikaner
seems quite bare in that respect. Given its severe climatic conditions, the
wealth of its architectural heritage lies in its forts, palaces and temples.
