Junagarh Fort

Reviewed By CharuKatyyal - New Delhi, India

You can see the Karan Mahal, which was built with Mughal architectural influences. Then The beautiful Phool Mahal, which happens to be the oldest part of the palace complex. Again The lavishly decorated Anoop Mahal which was the private audience chamber of the King of Bikaner , lastly not to forget the grand Durbar Hall with the ceremonial 1,100-year-old sandalwood throne. The main attraction though for many is the famous war souvenir - the DH-9DE Havilland War Plane which was given in recognition of the service rendered by the Bikaner State Forces led by Maharaja Ganga Singh Ji of Bikaner during 1st World War which gives every Indian a moment of pride. A must must visit palace

Jain Temple Bhandasar

Jain temple is one of the oldest temples in Bikaner, and was built in the 15th century. It is decorated with mirror work, frescoes and leaf paintings. The temple is built of red sandstone and is divided into three floors. One can see the skyline of Bikaner by climbing to the topmost floor of this temple. It is believed that the temple was made with 40,000 kilograms of ghee instead of mortar, which locals insist seeps through the walls on hot days.

This was the first temple which allowed to take picture, unlike Jain temple of Mount Abu or any other temple of the world for that matter. And man, its mesmerizing. Such an old temple, so well maintained and looked after. The priests are kind and open minded. The architecture is beautiful, beyond words. You gotta see it for yourself to experience it..

Bikaner Miniature Arts

Reviewed By ginnyg0708 - London, United Kingdom

I spent an interesting 45 minutes or so with master painter Shiv Swami. It was he who established the Guinness World Record category and held the record for 6 months before a Chinese man who painted on a pinhead took over the title. Shiv is a fantastic craftsman and I learned much from his demonstrations and from studying his work under a powerful microscope. Lesson over, I looked all round the gallery and never felt under any pressure to buy. Thank you for your time Shiv, I really appreciated it:)

Lalgarh Palace and Museum

Reviewed By RTBMamallapuram - Kanathur, India

Its a palace built in the late 50s or 40s but a eye treat. Made with utmost style using the most famous rajasthani red stone. Every inch of the palace is with this stone. We went for Lunch since we were guided by the team at Narendra Bhavan where we stayed. The gentleman at the elm of front office was so kind enough to explain the the history and too us around the palace at the areas which are allowed. We also had a sneak peak at the place where the maharaja had his own train come in right behind his back yard. We had a table in the inner quadrangle and was a sight to see the place and savour the food. They do a lot of weddings in this place because the place is fabulous and many a celebrities have conducted their events at this place. Each of the rooms in this palace is a worth of its own.
