DEEP IN
THE THAR DESERT, behind endless waves of sand dunes lies Bikaner, one of the most
interesting centers of later Indian art. In this great town of red sandstone, with richly
decorated houses rising high over its bustling streets, stands Bhanwar Niwas, the most
magnificent of the famed havelis belonging to the Rampuria family. Commissioned by the late
Seth Bhanwarlalji Rampuria in 1927, the architecture of the haveli and its interiors is a
fascinating blend of Indian and European styles. Now a heritage hotel, Bhanwar Niwas offers
its guests an experience of the lost flamboyant world of Rajputana.
