Kodamdesar temple is dedicated to Lord Bhairon. The temple was built by Rao Bikaji during the first three years of arrivals from Jodhpur.

The temple is completely open and doesn’t have any door and rooms.There is only a huge idol of Bhairoji at the center.

In the temple campus  you  can find many Dogs, Dogs are the ride of Bhiro ji. Newly wedded couple  come here to pay their prayers and  newly born  babies  are brought to the temple for their first hair-shaving ceremony i,e called Mundan.

The roads  towards the temple are very smooth.On the way to Kodamdesar  we are able to see a lots of camel as they used  in Rajasthan as the vehicle. We spent around 1 hrs at the temple and then moved back to Bikaner to take lunch as you wont find pretty good hotels or Dhabas in between.

Once we reached Ramdevra, first thing was to look around for Hotels. There are many Dharamshala ( Funded Place to stay ) where you can pay just 100 or 200 rs per night. We were lucky enough to find a good place to stay at  which had one big room with 5 Bed. It is opposite to Kolkata Dharamsahala.
