Bikaner - Shiv Bari Temple

Shiv Bari Temple

Built from red sandstone by Dungar Singh in the late 19th century, the temple is surrounded by a wall with battlements. It has a four faced black marble statue of Shiva and a bronze Nandi facing the Shiva Lingam. There are also two large reservoirs of water known as Bawaris. The temple attracts thousands of visitors during Shravan (August) especially on Mondays.
