History Bharatpur, Rajasthan
==================
The rulers of Bharatpur were from the Sinsinwar clan of Jat people which is an indo-sythian tribe that migrated in India around 100AD. According to Cunningham and William Cook[disambiguation needed], the city of Gohad was founded in 1505 by the Jats of Bamraulia village, who had been forced to leave Bamraulia by a satrap of Firuz Shah Tughluq. It was a notourious tribe which dug up the tomb of Akbar at Sikandra, where he was buried the Jats then cremenated Akbar in Hindu style. Gohad developed into an important Jat state, and was later captured by the Marathas. The Jat people of Gohad signed a treaty with the British and helped them capture Gwalior and Gohad from the Marathas. The British kept Gwalior and handed control of Gohad to Jat people in 1804.[5] Gohad was handed over to the Marathas under a revised treaty dated 22 November 1805 between the Marathas and the British. As compensation for Gohad, the Jat ruler Rana Kirat Singh was given Dhaulpur, Badi and Rajakheda; Kirat Singh moved to Dhaulpur in December 1805.
In the 10th century, the Yadav people took control of Dholpur, which had earlier been ruled by the Rajputs. Dholpur was taken by Sikandar Lodhi in 1501, who transferred it to a Muslim governor in 1504. In 1527, the Dholpur fort fell to Babur and continued to be ruled by the Mughals until 1707. After the death of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, Raja Kalyan Singh Bhadauria obtained possession of Dholpur, and his family retained it until 1761. After that, Dholpur was taken successively by the Jat ruler Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur; by Mirza Najaf Khan in 1775; by the Scindia ruler of Gwalior in 1782; and finally, by the British East India Company in 1803. It was restored by the British to the Scindias under the Treaty of Sarji Anjangaon, but in consequence of new arrangements, was again occupied by the British. In 1806, Dholpur again came under the Jat rulers, when it was handed over to Kirat Singh of Gohad. Dholpur thus became a princely state, a vassal of the British during the Raj.

Keoladeo National Park
=================
Being a UNESCO's World Heritage Site, the duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of birds, including the rare Siberian Crane, have been recorded in the park. The name Keoladeo is derived from the name of an ancient Hindu temple devoted to Lord Shiva in the sanctuary's central zone while the Hindi term Ghana implies dense, thick areas of forest cover. It is mainly famous for siberian crane. It was the only habitat of siberian crane in the world, other than siberia. Now with course of time, this endangered species has stopped reaching the park. The main reasons for this are being cited as lack of conservation measures in India, diversion of water for farmers instead of saving the wetlands as per then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's orders, hunting during migration in Pakistan and the Afghanistan as well as the war against Taliban in Afghanistan.

Keoladeo National Park or Keoladeo Ghana National Park is formerly known as the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India is a famous avifauna sanctuary that hosts thousands of birds, especially during the winter season. Over 230 species of birds are known to be resident. It is also a major tourist center with scores of ornithologists arriving here in the hibernal season. It was declared a protected sanctuary in 1971. It is also a World Heritage Site.
Keoladeo Ghana National Park is a man-made and man-managed wetland and one of the national parks of India. The reserve protects Bharatpur from frequent floods, provides grazing grounds for village cattle, and earlier was primarily used as a waterfowl hunting ground. The 29 km2 (11 sq mi) reserve is locally known as Ghana, and is a mosaic of dry grasslands, woodlands, woodland swamps and wetlands. These diverse habitats are home to 366 bird species, 379 floral species, 50 species of fish, 13 species of snakes, 5 species of lizards, 7 amphibian species, 7 turtle species, and a variety of other invertebrates.
Every year thousands of migratory waterfowl visit the park for wintering and breeding. The sanctuary is one of the richest bird areas in the world and is known for nesting of resident birds and visiting migratory birds including water birds. The rare Siberian cranes used to winter in this park but this central population is now extinct. According to founder of the World Wildlife Fund Peter Scott, Keoladeo National Park is one of the world’s best bird areas. Along with the Loktak Lake of Manipur, Keoladeo National Park is placed on the Montreux Record under the Ramsar Convention.

The Park gate is close to the bus stand and railway station.
World Heritage Site
The UNESCO convention for listing goes on to explain the criteria the selection of Keoladeo Ghana National Park as a World Heritage Site under the Natural Criteria iv of Operational Guidelines 2002 and the description which follows is that the park is a “Habitat of rare and endangered species. The park is a wetland of international importance for migratory waterfowl. It is the wintering ground for the rare Siberian crane and habitat for large numbers of resident nesting birds.” According to the revised Operational Guidelines of 2005, the park falls under Criteria (x) which states that to be conferred the status of World Heritage, the site should “contain the most important and significant natural habitats for in-site conservation of biological diversity, including those containing threatened species of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation.”
India's birding paradise - Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur
The Keoladeo National Park is a true embodiment of the Sanskrit phrase “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, meaning, the world is a family, for its role in the coexistence of the wide variety of flora and fauna found here.Home to 375 bird species, 379 floral species, 50 species of fish, 13 species of snakes, 5 species of lizards, 7 amphibian species,7 turtle species, and a variety of other invertebrates, this National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. In fact, UNESCO terms the reserve a “bird paradise.”
Located in the city of Bharatpur in the North-western Indian state of Rajasthan, about 180 kms from the country’s capital - New Delhi, the National Park takes its name from the temple of a local deity Keoladeo, located near the centre of the reserve. Spread over an area of about 29 kms2, the reserve is locally known as the Ghana National Park.
Its dubious distinction as a hunting ground lies firmly buried in it's past.Before being declared a protected park in Independent India in 1971, subsequently a National Park in 1982 and a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, the reserve acted as a duck shooting reserve for the Maharajas of Bharatpur and also hosted duck shoots in the Honour of British Viceroys.
A third of the total area of Keoladeo is a wetland. Though the National Park is man-made and man managed, it was developed in a natural depression.
Though various bird species live here round the year, the best season for bird-watching begins in winter - in the month of November, when due to its strategic location along the Central Asian migratory flyway and the presence of water, the Park attracts large flocks of waterfowl such as ducks, geese, coots, pelicans, and waders. Keoladeo also acts as a breeding ground for around 115 bird speciesincluding the beautiful Sarus Cranes.
The park becomes an enchanting albeit loud, heronryduring the breeding season with 15 distinct species of herons, ibis, cormorants, spoonbills and storks. In the evenings during this season, the spectacular courtship dance of the Sarus cranes can also be seen by either waiting for them near their identified habitat or tracking them by their distinct, shrill call. Various land-birds are also found in the park, such as the Indian Grey Hornbill, Indian Roller, bee-eaters, parakeets, partridges, kingfishers, doves and many more.
Although more popular as a bird watching destination, the park is also a great place to spot pythons in the winter months, which, being cold blooded, come out of their holes to soak in the sun and warm their bodies. Also seen are Spotted Deer, Sambhar, and Nilgai –the largest antelope, found in Asia. One can easily spot jackals, monitor lizards as well as mongoose whilst on a stroll in the park.
The tourist season picks up in the winter month of November with the arrival of the migratory birds, and reaches its peak thereafter. The Palace on Wheels – India’s most luxurious Tourist Train stops at the Bharatpur Railway Station every Tuesday, bringing excitement and cheer to the rickshaw-pullers plying Rickshaws in the park premises as well as the rather well-informed local guides who ride cycles and are aware not only about the birds found in the park but also the locations where rarer birds like owls, nightjars, etc can be sighted. As no vehicles are allowed inside the park premises, tourists can opt for bicycles or rickshaws to see the park or can cover the park on foot. The rickshaw-pullers double up as guides and their knowledge of the birds and wildlife found in the park is admirable.
