Bikaner

City in Rajasthan, northern India, 200 km/125 mi north of Jodhpur on the edge of the Thar Desert; population (2001) 529,000. Once capital of the Rajput state of Bikaner, it is now a centre for carpet-weaving. It developed originally as a centre for cross-desert trade. From 1571 to 1611 the Junagarh fort was built on a rocky outcrop as a defensive measure by the ruling princes; it contains a fine collection of Sanskrit and Persian books.
