Hotel Basant Vihar Palace was built because of a 'fanciful desire' of His Highness Maharaj Sri Ganga Singhji, a connoisseur of architecture and one blessed with an artistic sense. Basant Vihar Palace was designed by him to be a separate 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 Basant Vihar 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, Indian as well as International, Viceroys and other dignitaries have been entertained here.
