Bikaner: Caparisoned camels with jingling trinkets, women in sequined gahagras, men showy multi-hued turbans, red-and-yellow stonework temples, swelling golden dunes of the Thar under an azure sky, Bikaner is nothing short of nature as own image. Created in 1488 era by Rao Bika ji, this regal, fortified city surrounded by a wall with five entry gates exudes the surrounding desert as warm. Imposing palaces, sprawling castle, melodious ballads, tinted puppets, high-flying kites, glittering jewelry, tasty savories and dune-caressing camel safaris through the faintly disheveled edges of the city peeps a land that still hears back to an age of magnanimous princes and appealing princesses.
