Experience The Best Of Bikaner
As you book a Bikaner tourism package, you should see to it that your itinerary includes the following attractions.
Junagarh Fort: Initially called Chintamani, this magnificent structure is one of the integral aspects of Bikaner tourism. It was renamed the Junagarh or Old Fort in the 20th century. The palaces, gardens, balconies, kiosks and more, within the fort beautifully depict the varied architectural styles of the different rulers of the region, along with certain foreign inspirations. In many ways, the fort represents 16 generations of rulers in Bikaner, starting from the late 16th century. Junagarh Fort features stunning stone carvings done in red and gold sandstone. Its interiors are decorated in ancient Rajasthani style. There are both Hindu and Jain temples at the fort. Har Mandir, Karan Mahal, Prachina Museum, Chandra Mahal, Anup Mahal, and Fort Museum are some of the major highlights of Junagarh Fort, which make it an important part of Bikaner tourism in Rajasthan. Here you can find an expansive collection of jewels, royal costumes, arms and weapons, and other antiques.
Lalgarh Palace: This spectacular Rajasthani Palace is built in the European architectural style and has now been opened up for tourists as a Heritage Hotel. The palace is made up of red sandstone and features a library and two museums, including the Ganga Golden Jubilee Museum and the Sadul Museum, both of which are open to visitors. The colonnades, intricate latticework, and filigree at the Lalgarh Palace are inspired by traditional Italian architecture and would be a perfect example of Hindu-Gothic or Indo-Saracenic architecture.
Gajner Palace: Bikaner tourism package would seem incomplete unless it includes a trip to the grand Gajner Palace. It is located on the banks of Gajner Lake, and has a variety of leisure activities like boat rides and desert safaris. Traditionally, it used to be a hunting lodge for Maharaja Ganga Singh and his family, but has been converted into a hotel over the years.
Karni Mata Temple: This is a widely revered and unique temple. There are about 25,000 black rats that live in the temple and are worshipped as well. These holy rats are known as kabbas. People from diverse parts of India and even beyond visit the temple to pay their respects to these rats. The architecture of the Karni Mata Temple is also quite noteworthy, and is heavily influenced by the Mughal style of construction. It features a beautiful marble facade and marble carvings.
