Why are red stones special… Whatever historical constructions have been made of red sandstone in Bikaner, they were used for a special reason. They absorb heat of 48 degrees Celsius during the day and release it at night. As a result, rooms remain naturally comfortable. The winding, narrow streets of the old city here were built to compress the desert winds. This increased the speed of air and created an effect like natural air conditioning. Photo: pixabay/pexels
