The complex includes a marble baradari pavilion, a small lake with boating, a mini zoo with deer and other animals, and a museum building displaying artifacts. The environment is park-like and family-oriented, suitable for leisurely walks, photography, picnicking and sightseeing within the city centre.

Banasar Bagh was developed as a royal garden during the rule of the Jind State, when Sangrur served as its capital. Traditionally associated with Maharaja Raghbir Singh in the 19th century, the garden was laid out as a formal pleasure garden with a baradari, water features and landscaped grounds for the royal family, later opened as a public park and expanded with a museum and zoological collection.

The garden is the principal public recreational and cultural space of Sangrur, used for daily leisure, family outings and local gatherings. Its baradari, museum and preserved landscape reflect the heritage of the former Jind State and remain a focal point for community recreation and heritage appreciation in the city.
