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.
