Lalgarh Palace- Bikaner
The fortified city of Bikaner was founded by Rao Bika, the second son of the founder of Jodhpur. Built in 1488, the city figured importantly on the great caravan trade route that linked North India with Central Asia. A city noteworthy for its red and yellow sandstone forts and palaces, Bikaner is enclosed in a long wall with 5 gates. Bikaner is now a trade centre for wool, hides, building stone, salt, and grain.
