Hotel Sagar Bikaner

... il tempio dei topi."<br>"Ok!"<br>Il tempio dei topi si trova a circa 30 km da Bikaner, in un paesino che si chiama Deshnok. Gli autobus fermeno esattamente davanti all'entrata del tempio, che e` l'unico motivo per cui tanti turisti e pellegrini vengono sin qui. Una volta entrati lo spettacolo che si apre davanti agli occhi e` questo: topi a destra, topi a sinistra, topi sotto, topi sopra, topi ovunque e ovunque cacche di topo. Qui e la` qualche topo morente, qualche ...

It was old and dirty, just like the new city. We tried to find some Jain temples, but only found a group of people walking with a man and child on a horse, all dressed up.
