An Insight into Bharatpur Tourism

Till 17th century, Bharatpur was dominated by the Jat rulers and they were going strong in years to come. Mughals tried to conquer Bharatpur, but they were not able to do anything because of their strong rule, especially under the leadership of Badan Singh and Churaman. In early 18th century, the farmers of Bharatpur rose in revolt against the Mughals. That's when the Jats, under the leadership of Badan Singh along with his uncle Churaman, came together and defeated Mughal. After a series of war, finally in 1724 Badan Singh was recognized and conferred the title Raj. In 1733, Suraj Mal, Raja Badan Singh’s adopted son, vanquished Khemkaran, the rival chieftain seized fort of Bharatpur and laid the foundation of Bharatpur city. It was during the rule of Suraj Mal; Bharatpur was going through its golden period. Many palaces and forts that dot the kingdom, which are now the famous tourism places in Bharatpur were constructed during the rule of Suraj Mal. His son Jawahar Singh later succeeded him. Later in 1818, British came into the picture and made peace with Jats by signing an agreement. In 1947, the state acceded unto the dominion of India. Bharatpur is 50 kilometers to the west of Agra, and since it falls between the golden triangle (Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra), it is easily approachable for tourist.

The region shares its border with Gurgaon district of Haryana in the north and the Mathura and Agra districts of Uttar Pradesh in the east. And due to its proximity, Bharatpur is a prominent weekend getaway from Delhi and Gurgaon.

The history of Bharatpur dates back to 5th century BC, when the Matsya kingdom flourished here. The Matsyas were allies of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata war. Legends say that the origin of the name Bharatpur is traced to Bharat, younger brother of Lord Ram. Laxman, the other brother, was given the most prestigious position as that of the family deity of the ruling family of Bharatpur. His name also appears in the state seals and coat-of-arms.

In the early 18th century, Maharaja Suraj Mal captured the fort of Bharatpur by vanquishing Khemkaran, the rival chieftain and laid the foundation for Bharatpur. The valiant Maharaja was very keen to expand the cities and is credited with building the numerous forts and palaces that dot the kingdom, including the Pleasure Palace Complex at Deeg.

Bharatpur is also home to one of the world’s best-known bird watching destinations, Keoladeo Ghana National Park (KNP). 250 years ago, the then ruler built embankments that allowed flooding of this land, turning it into a marsh. Named after the dense jungle that surrounded an old Shiva Temple, this 29 square kilometre man-made wetland is renowned for migratory birds – ducks, geese, waders, raptors, flycatchers and more. In winter, avid birders and ornithologists flock to the park to observe and study the feathered beauties. With more than 370 recorded species, KNP used to also host the Siberian crane. It is a World Heritage Site.
