About the Place
Bharatpur is largely known for the Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary but the
city also hosts a beautiful fort. Many travellers who visit Bharatpur rate
it as a highlight who visits India. In the 17 th and 18 th centuries, the
town was an important Jat strong hold.
The
sanctuary is 5 km to the south of the city centre. The Lohargarh or 'Iron
Fort', is worth a visit. An earthern dam called the Ajan Dam was constructed
in 1760, to protect Bharatpur from the constant floods during monsoon and
the arid lands after monsoon. The Keoladeo lake was born out of the
depression created by extraction of soil for the dam covered with shallow
lakes and stunted forest growth and grasslands.
