Bikaner district, Administrative district in northwestern Rajasthan, India
Located in the heart of the Thar Desert, Bikaner district encompasses 30,247 square kilometers of territory with the city of Bikaner as its capital.
The district emerged from the settlement founded by Rao Bika in 1488, transforming the barren Jangladesh region into a central point along trade routes to Gujarat.
The population of over 2.3 million people primarily speaks Rajasthani and maintains traditions through handicrafts, woodwork, pottery, and textile production across the district.
The Indira Gandhi Canal system provides essential water resources throughout the district, supporting agricultural activities and daily life in this desert region.
The district contains the Karni Mata Temple, where thousands of rats receive offerings and protection as part of local religious practices.
