Bikaner is a city in the northwest of Rajasthan state in western India, located 330 kilometres (205 miles) northwest of the state capital, Jaipur. Rao Bikaji, a descendant of Jodhpur's founder, founded the city of Bikaner in 1488. It was situated along the historic caravan route that connected Central Asia, the Middle East, and India. As a hub of trade and commerce, Bikaner quickly gained notoriety. Early in the 16th century, it gained even more prosperity when it was chosen as the seat of the mighty Bikaner State.
The city's formidable palaces and fortifications are a reminder of its former importance as a major center of power and influence. Bikaner is also home to some of the most spectacularly adorned temples in all of Rajasthan. In addition to the city's yearly camel festival, the city's vibrant bazaars are a top draw for tourists.
