The temple has massive intricately carved silver gates, which Maharaja (King) Ganga Singh donated.The most exciting thing about the temple is the rats who scamper freely within precincts. They are regarded as sacred and are fed by priests & devotees due to the belief that they will be reincarnated in the goddess's family. These holy rats are called Kabbas; many people travel a great distance to pay their respects.The temple draws visitors from across the country for blessings and curious tourists from around the world.
National Research Centre on Camel
This is one of the best places in India to learn about camels. This research centre was established in 1984 by the government and since then has also functioned as a breeding farm, museum, and a popular place for tourists to learn more about these animals and to experience a different variety of cuisine, made from camel milk. The place is located around 8 KM from Bikaner and can be easily visited in an hour or two by boarding an auto-rickshaw or a taxi for a round trip from the city.
Lalgarh Palace and Museum
This majestic palace built by Maharaja Ganga Singh Ji in 1902 is a magnum opus in red sandstone. This architectural wonder was created by the fusion of Rajput, Mughal and European architecture and exhibits superb craftsmanship in striking latticework and filigree work. One part of Lalgarh Palace has been given on lease recently and is being used as a heritage hotel.
