MADHOPUR - GATEWAY TO THE TIGERS’DEN
Lying
on the main Delhi-Mumbai railway line, Swai Madhopur is the gateway to
the world renowned Ranthambhor National Park- the famous Tiger Reserve ,
just 12 km away from here. Ranthambhor has been a witness to the rise
and fall of many rulers and a series of battle scenes. In the 13th
century A.D. Govinda, the grandson of Prithviraj Chauhan took over the
reign of the land. Later his successor Vagabhatta, beautified the city
and built a noteworthy temple at Jhain.In the middle of the 15th
century A.D. Rana Kumbha captured the fort and gifted it to his son to
be occupied later by the Hada Rajputs of Bundi and Mughal Emperors Akbar
and Aurangazeb. Mughal Emperor Shah Alam gifted it to Maharaja Sawai
Madho Singh I of Jaipur in 1754 and since then it was maintained as the
hunting preserve of the Maharaja. Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of
Edinburgh were part of the royal hunting who stayed here.
