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 sand grouse 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.
