   • Bikaner, India
   • Sights › Architecture

   The narrow streets of the old city conceal a number of old havelis and a couple of notable Jain temples. The temples date from around the 15th century. Bhandasar Temple is particularly beautiful, with yellow-stone carving and dizzyingly vibrant paintings. It's said the foundations contain 40,000kg of ghee, and the floor still gets greasy in summer. Sandeshwar Temple is smaller, but has some fine carving. Nearby, the unassuming Laxminath Temple comes alive at around 22:30 each night.
