Hotel
Basant Vihar Palace was built because of a 'fanciful desire' of
His Highness Maharaj Sri Ganga Singhji, a connoisseur of
arhitecture and one blessed with an artistic sense. It  was
designed by him to be a seperate pleasure garden adjoining the
Zanana Bagh (Royal Ladies Garden) of Lalgarh Palace. In
1993, the House of Bikaji converted this masterpiece of
architecture into a heritage hotel - Hotel Basant Vihar Palace. An
endeavour to offer tourists a true flavour of history and royal
living (as opposed to the usual star-category hotels), Hotel
Basant Vihar Palace today, remains a 'garden of eternal spring
Hunting, as
a rule, was a sport limited only to the feudal chiefs and the
Maharajas. Major game was hunted only during the period of British
Raj . The palace, built by Maharaja Ganga Singhji, served as
resort. There was invitation to the annual sandgrouse shoot in
Bikaner that no one dared miss: it simply belonged on the top of
the heap in society, so designed by Maharaja Ganga Singh at this
hunting lodge. Royalty, both Indian as well as
international,Viceroys and other dignitaries have been entertained
here.
