Bikaner is a classic Rajasthani town located back in Northwest Rajasthan. The town has all the flavors what Rajasthan has to offer.
Probably the first three things that come to your mind when you think about Bikaner is the famous rat temple, the Bikaji Bhujia or the mouthwatering sweet dish Ghewar. Apart from these things Bikaner is also an ensemble of art, culture, architecture, palaces or better combined- ‘the royal Rajasthani life’.
