Kolyatji
Kolyat is located 50 kilometres from Bikaner. It is a temple complex of Kolyat
and a holy place of pilgrimage for Hindus. The legend has it that Kapil Muni
the advocate of Shankya yoga of the Hindu philosophy while journeying towards
northwest was struck by the tranquility and peace of this place and chose to
perform tapasya (penance) here for the redemption of the world. This place has
since acquired great sanctity. The complex has several temples, pavilions and
bathing ghats. A dip in the holy waters of the lake especially on Kartik Poornima
(November) is considered very auspicious.
