[1][2] After the British Raj set up the Chamber of Princes, the rulers needed a residence in the capital city.

A number of palaces were constructed in New Delhi, at the coveted Princes’ Park.

Among all the princely residences, Bikaner House was the least grand in design, as it was more like a bungalow than a palace.
