Bikaji Ki Tekri

Suresh Menon 24 months ago

According to the information at the location, Rai Bikaji made this first 'humble' contribution about 5 centuries ago, to what today has become the city of Bikaner. It is believed to have been occupied by a succession of later rulers.
For some reason, there aren't many visitors. The guard at the gate painstakingly takes down all the particulars in a visitor's book, and I noticed at 11 am I was the first on that day, and there were less than 10 visitors on previous days.
It is reasonably well-maintained given that there is only one caretaker. The tombs therein are scrupulously clean, though other areas could do with a bit of sweeping and dusting.
All-in-all a nice experience.
