Bikaner
On
the outskirts of Bikaner is the Camel Research and Breeding Farm,
the only of its kind in Asia. Advanced research on camels takes place
in the farm. This farm has been credited for eradicating many camel
diseases and also increasing the population of the species. The Farm
also imparts training to camels. It is said that the Farm is crucial
for Rajasthan's economy. 
Another
attraction dotting the Bikaner landscape is the Lalgarh Palace. Built
by Maharaja Ganga Singh in memory of his father, the palace is a splendid
example of red sandstone building architecture. The meticulously done
latticework and filigre work further increases the beauty of red sandstone.
Also known for its serene ambience, the palace has well laid gardens
full of blooming bougainvillea flowers. Peacoks could also be seen
moving around in the garden. 
One
of the most magnificent forts of Rajasthan, the Junagarh fort is a
huge structure that also houses some very attractive palaces. This
fort was built by Rai Singh between 1588 and 1593. The fort has a
986 metre long wall having 37 bastions, a moat and two entrances.
Unlike the other forts of Rajasthan that have been built on high grounds,
this fort is built on the plains. The beautiful palaces inside the
fort are known for intricate stone carvings. The palaces are Anup
Mahal, Diwan-e-Khas, Hawa Mahal, Badal Mahal, Chandra Mahal, Phool
Mahal, Rang Mahal, Dungar Mahal and Ganga Mahal. 
Excursions

interesting legends.
Karni Mata is the official deity of Bikaner, Rajasthan, India.
According to local legends, faiths and beliefs, Karni Mata is the

barren desert. 
The
red sandstone Gajner Palace lies ensconced in the midst of wooded
grounds and is a delightful palatial home that has been converted
into a heritage hotel. Delicately carved columns, sculpted pillars
and Jharokha windows add to the quiet class of this heritage palace
in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. Set on the banks of a serene lake the

Rajasthan, India.
