Bikaner District Map - Summary

Bikaner, before the 15th Century, was known by the name of Jangladesh and was under the rule of Rajputs. In 1486, Rao Bika, a Rajput ruler, built this place. The place where Rao Bika wanted to build it belonged to a Nehra Jat who got ready to give the land to the king, only if the name of the place would be linked to his name, to which the king agreed. Hence, the name of the place was kept Bikaner.

Bikaner district is spread across an area of 30,247.90 sq km and is located between 27°11′ and 29°03′ N and 71°54′ and 74°12′ E. Bikaner city is the district headquarters which was founded in 1486 AD by Rao Bika, a Rajput ruler and is the fourth largest city of the State.
