Located in the old city are two exceptional Jain temples built by two merchant brothers in the 16th century. The Sandeshwar Temple is covered with marble sculptures of Jain saints. The Bhandeshwar Temple is decorated with gold-leaf work, beautiful sculpted pillars, and floral designs.

The rich mirror work, decor and frescoes of Bhandashah and their gold leaf paintings are noteworthy. This temple is the oldest existing structure in Bikaner.
