White wall houses depicts social status of the family as very few houses have kali(white wash). A certain style of mandana was observed in Bikaner on such houses where only geru(dark red sand paste) is used to make the design. These designs and patterns used have dots, lines, triangles, circles, animals, birds, holy symbols, flowers etc. Traditionally it's painted with a piece of cloth.
