separate wings, one of which is occupied by members of the royal family
while another wing forms a museum. Lallgarh Palace is the most completely

Bika, a descendant of Rao Jodha of Jodhpur. The old city is surrounded by a
high crenellated wall. In the olden days, the city of Bikaner figured
prominently on the great caravan trade routes. Today, it is a lively and
colourful city reminiscent of the days of yore. A number of festivals such
as Teej and Holi are celebrated in the city, in much the same way as they
have been for centuries.
