Bikaner- The foundation of a Desert Kingdom.
A small write up on the occassion of Akhabeej & Akhateej

Rao Bika, founded the Kingdom of Bikaner in 1545 Vikram Samvat (or 1488 AD). The people rejoiced and celebrated. These two days of Akha Beej and Akha Teej are traditionally celebrated by flying Kites and feasting with summer special drinks and eats.

However, foundation of a civilisation rests on many things. So today, I would like to emphasize that although our family (I am one of the descendants of Rao Bika (25th Generation) is attributed to the foundation of this great Kingdom, but it requires benign blessings, team work, leadership and the need of the hour to be able to create an empire. Rao Bika, when he left Jodhpur with mere 500 soldiers, his brother Bida and his Uncle Kandhal to his side would not have been able to battle unless the locals supported him and the leader in him took the opportunity to establish an empire emulating his great father Rao Jodha.

This endeavour had the benign blessings of Godess Karni who at the time resided at Deshnoke. Karni Mata is even today revered as the guiding and protecting deity of Bikaner.

We all know that Bhandashah Jain Temple was being built here so obviously there was a Business Community that was already living in the vicinity. Kodamdesar, Jangalu, Deshnoke, and many such settlements were already established. The Business route from Europe to India had already moved from the mountains to the Thar desert owing to various reasons, the mongoloid rule in the Stans and upper Afghanistan. The mountains were only giving a window of four months to trade and the animals that were used were primarily mules and horses who had limitations of how much weight they could carry. The Desert, barring the two extremely hot summer months gave a much larger window of trading. The Camels were definitely the best beasts as for the weight carrying ability was concerned, and thus the preferred trading route was the desert till the sea route was found. This lead to many settlements growing on the new route as trading towns and villages.

The region was also being looked as a potentially rich region due to the no. of small set
