Bikaner is a city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is situated approximately 330 kilometres (205 mi) northwest of the state capital, Jaipur, in the Thar Desert region of western Rajasthan. Bikaner serves as the administrative headquarters of Bikaner District and Bikaner division. Formerly the capital of the princely Bikaner State, the city was founded in 1488 CE by Rao Bika, a Rajput chief of the Rathore dynasty. From its small origins it has developed into the fourth largest city in Rajasthan. The Ganga Canal, completed in 1928, and the Indira Gandhi Canal, completed in 1987, facilitated its development.

Located in the northwestern part of Rajasthan, Bikaner is a city that is often overlooked by travelers in favor of more popular destinations like Jaipur or Jodhpur. However, this city has a unique charm and character that is worth exploring.

Known for its stunning architecture, Bikaner is home to several impressive landmarks that showcase the city's rich history and culture. One of the most famous attractions is the Junagarh Fort, which was built in the 16th century and boasts an intricate design of red sandstone and marble.
