Lallgarh Palace
Bikaner, Code
No- AT-RJ21
One of
the most impressive palaces constructed during the last half of the nineteenth
century, the Lallgarh Place defies the bleak and rugged reality of the
harsh Thar Desert around Bikaner. The renowned architect, Sir Swinton Jacob, was
commissioned for the proposed residence of the young ruler, Maharaja Ganga
Singh. Initially, the palace was proposed to be finished within a lakh of
rupees and further reductions in cost were suggested to be made by substituting
stucco for carved stone. But the moment Maharaja Ganga Singh got personally
involved in the building exercise, all cost cutting was banished. The Palace
began in 1896 and by the time the first quadrant, Lakshmi Niwas was completed in
1902, cost had already zoomed to ten lakh rupees. The idea of using cheap stucco
was replaced with the finest and most intricate stone carving of all the modern
palaces in India. The princely abode welcomed Lord Curzon as its first
important guest. Maharaja Ganga Singh named his new residence in honour of his
father, Maharaja Lall Singh.Lallgarh Palace was the most completely integrated
example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, and as some hold, the most perfectly
realised of Sir Samuel Jacob's creations. The sheer poetry in sandstone was
further extended for the Maharaja's son, Sadul Singh, and grandson, Karni Singh

Bikaner
Camel
Breeding Farm: Just 8 km away from the city, at the govt. run camel
breeding farm, you discover a lot about the Ship of the Desert. You learn
that the long -haired camel with hair on its ears is the Bikaner variety,
famed for its strength. The light- coloured ones are the ones from
Jaisalmer, and are prized for their speed. The dark-coloured camels come
from Gujarat and the female camels are prized for their milk-producing
capacity.
Devi
Kund: Eight kilometres form Bikaner, this is the place which contains chatris
(cenotaphs) of the Bika rulers.
Karni
Mata Temple at Deshnoke: Millions throng the Karni Mata Temple at the
village of Deshnok, 30 km south of Bikaner. At this place, holy rodents
flourish all over and are fed milk by the devotees. The rats are known as kabas
and it is considered extremely auspicious if they oblige by running over
your feet.
