Lunkaransar-Brahmani Mata

Brahmani Mata Mandir-Lunkaransar

Location:

Lunkaransar is a town and a Sub division & a Tehsil Head Quarter in the Bikaner district. It is located on the Bikaner-Sri Ganganagar road (National Highway 62). Bikaner, Sardarshahar, Vijainagar, Rajaldesar are the near by Cities.

Rajkot of Rajasthan:

It is famous for peanut crop production; therefore it is called Rajkot of Rajasthan.  Its land and weather are suitable for oily crops. Government established an olive oil and Jojoba  plantation here to sustain the local economy and India’s first refinery for olive oil was started here. 

Harrapan-Indus civilization:

Lunkaransar is a small, closed, dry basin surrounded by dunes at the northeastern region  of the Thar Desert. The lake levels were very shallow and fluctuated often 11,700 years ago and then rose abruptly around 6,300 years ago.  The major Harrapan-Indus civilization began and flourished in this region 1000 years after desiccation of the lake.

Why it is called Lunkaransar :

It gets its name from Salt which is called “Lun” in the local language. There once was a salt lake in this location which is dry now.  Lunkaransar Lake in Rajasthan is a Playa lake formed due to deflation. Playa is a flat bottom dry lake, found in the arid and semiarid region of the interior of desert basin. It periodically covered with water that slowly filtrates into ground or evaporates in the air. This causes deposition of salt, sand and mud in the lake.
