The Favourite Bird Retreat The 55-km long journey by road from Agra drives you to the town of Bharatpur the eastern gateway to Rajasthan. Bharatpur is popular for its bird sanctuary near the Keoladeo Ghana National Park, which is the finest in Asia with a rich avian variety. Every year, the rare Siberian cranes come to spend the winter in the warmer climate of Bharatpur. Of the remnants of the royal past remain the marvellous Bharatpur Palace housing a rich repository of a large number of ancient exhibits that date back to the early 15th century. |

festival is marked by verve and zest. Villagers, in gay, multihued
attire, can be seen singing and performing the Raslila dance-the
immortal love-story of Radha and Krishna. more.. |

Govt. Museum - Bharatpur Located in the
centre of the famous Lohagarh Fort, the Bharatpur Museum houses a rich
collection of archaeological wealth of the nearby areas as well as from
the old Bharatpur State. The huge palatial building Kachahari Kalan,
once the administrative block of the rulers of Bharatpur state, was
converted into a museum in 1944 AD. Later on, the Kamra Khas (personal
chamber) building on the first floor was added to the museum. |
|
Jawahar Burj and Fateh Burj A few of the
eight imposing towers still stand erect within the glorious ramparts of
the fort. Especially two of them - Jawahar Burj and Fateh Burj are of
special interest. These were built by Maharaja Suraj Mal to commemorate
his victories over the Mughals and British respectively. The coronation
ceremony of the Jat rulers of Bharatpur was also held at the Jawahar
Burj. |
|
Lohagarh Fort The massive iron structure
built in the early 18th century. With its impregnable defences, it
sustained itself even after a number of British attacks. The fort was
conceived and designed by Maharaja Suraj Mal, the founder of Bharatpur.
The fort has three palaces within its precincts - Kishori Mahal, Mahal
Khas and Kothi Khas. |
|
The Palace This royal edifice is a fusion
of the Mughal and Rajput architectural styles with magnificent
apartments and intricately designed floor tiles having interesting
patterns. One can marvel at the ancient exhibits displayed in the museum
in the central pan of the palace. |
