Bissau Village
Is another small town of fluctuating fortunes. Keshri Singh founded the
town. The town fell into anarchies when his grandson Shyam Singh extorted
huge sums of money from the local merchant. The merchants packed up and
fled the town and the local Thakurs resorted wide spread looting and decoity.
However on the death of Shyam Singh his heir then restored normalcy and
the merchants were encouraged.
Deshnok Village
Deshnok is a small village situated 32 km south from Bikaner city along
the Jodhpur Road. It is connected by national highway and rail. It is a
pilgrim centre of Karni Mata. Karni Mata, considered as an incarnation of
Goddess Durga lived here in the fourteenth century and performed many miracles.
Originally the village was called 'dus- nok' meaning ten corners as it was
formed by taking ten corners of ten villages.
Jhalawar Village

The princely state of the Jhalas created in 1838 AD, after being separated
from Kota by the British. It is best explored by foot within the city and
a horse safari in the outskirts as Jhalawar boasts of rich natural wealth,
with flora and fauna as active.
Since it is situated at the edge of the Malwa Plateau it has rocky but water
laden verdant landscape unlike much of Rajasthan, with some exquisite pre-historic
cave paintings, massive forts, thick woody forests, exotic wild life variety
and a lush country side which has Red poppy fields, orange laden orchards
making it look fascinating and colourful during winters.
Banswara Village
Home to the tribal with Bhils constituting half of the total populations
Banswara has its name derived from Bans or bamboo trees, which once grew
here in abundance. Maharawal Jamal Singh founded the erstwhile state. With
Udaipur and Chittorgarh, forming its boundaries, the district presently
comprises of the territories of former Banswara State and the Chieftainship
of Kushalgarh. While the central and western portion of the district are
fertile plains, the scattered ranges of the Aravali form the eastern region.
The ancient town is surrounded by a stone wall, now in ruins. A palace of
a former ruler of Banswara stands overlooking the town. The teak forests
are found on the slopes of the Aravalli hills. Mango, Khajur and Mahua trees
are also a part of the vegetation of the district. Banswara has rich wildlife
including squirrels, lizards, snakes, chinkara, ronj and four horned antelope.
Panthers can be seen rarely. The avian variety includes the black drongo,
grey shirke, green bee-eater, parrot, jungle crow, wood pecker and common
myna. Grey jungle fowl and grey partridge are generally spotted in the remote
parts of the forests.
Kishangarh Village

Kishangarh is 27 Kms north east of Ajmer and was founded by Kishan Singh
a Rathore Prince. In the 18th century it acclaimed fame as one of the finest
schools of miniatures paintings. Though a smaller school with a much shorter
duration it had a more refined style. It peaked under the patronage of Savant
Singh an heir to the throne, who later became a hermit. It is said that
Savant Singh modeled as Krishna while his mistress nicknamed as Bani Thani
modelled for Radha. Paintings of Bani Thani are it most celebrated. The
artist of this school favoured evening lights and grey skies with fine colours.
This outstanding school lasted only a few decades. Today the artists still
create duplicates of the work. The town is now an industrial town for marble
and textiles. Kishangarh is connected by train and bus.
