Barmer
Barmer
is a desert town just 153 kms from Jaisalmer and has fortresses to boast off.
This place is primarily famous for its woodcarving, furniture and interiors,
carpets, block printing and embroideries. The centre for embroidery is the
Sadar Bazaar and woodcarvings are around the Station Road. It has an RTDC
Hotel and private Hotels too.
Just 35 kms form Barmer is a group of five temples in architectural style
known as Solanki. These temples feature some very fine sculpture and the Someshwara
Temple with a multi tier spire is the most impressive. Since it is very close
to the sensitive Pakistan border, foreigners visiting it must obtain prior
permission form the District Collector.
