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.
