The frescoes painted on the walls of these havelis are surely spectacular. Although, this part of the state is known for providing the highest number of recruits for the Indian Army, it is also known for the caste of shrewd businessmen, the Marwaris.

The city is famous for Jharokas, the stone carved screens that you will find on the windows of the havelis. A visit to Bikaner is not complete if you do not taste the traditional snacks and sweets. We return back to the hotel to rest for the night.
