Stories from Oblivion: Chapter Two: BKN/UDZ
When you visit four cities in as many days, your idea of a room with a view becomes something like this:.jpg)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karni Mata Temple.jpg)
The Karni Mata Temple at Deshnok (Distt. Bikaner) is famous the world over because of the presence of over 3000 mice within the temple premises..jpg)
8th Wonder of the World or as Dr.Gonzo once said: RAT COUNTRY!.jpg)
The mice are well fed and are free to roam about. When you enter the temple premises, you are advised to drag your feet so that you don't step on the mice by mistake!
Another unique thing is that not a single mouse leaves the temple premises even though the gates are always open.

Bikaner
Apart from posters that read "Dharmendra: MISSING!" you can also see:.jpg)
Junagarh Fort.jpg)
Handcrafted ivory weapons.jpg)
(Is there a support group for people who get turned on by this?)

Udaipur
If you want to capture the essence of this majestic city, you really must carry a half-decent camera, maybe even an SLR..jpg)
