Bikaner is a city in north-western Rajasthan state in western India. It is the administrative headquarters of Bikaner District. It was formerly the capital of the princely state of Bikaner. One of the most famous landmarks of Bikaner is Deshnokh Temple, a temple where rats roam around freely, and spotting a white rat is considered lucky. The Bikaner city was founded by Rao Bikaji under guardianship of his uncle Rao Kandhal in 1486 and it progressed from small place to big city of the western desert. The Gang canal and the Indira Gandhi Canal have changed the area. The city has diversified industrially. Bikaner wool, gypsum, plaster of Paris, and bentonite are a few minerals found in abundance around Bikaner.
