Bharatpur ( Kelodeo Ganna Bird sanctuary) is one of the best and famous wildlife
sanctuaries in India. It is the only wildlife sanctuary in India that is artificially
made by a Maharaja. One of the finest bird sanctuaries in the world, Bharatpur
Bird Sanctuary is located in Bharatpur city of Rajasthan and also known as the
Keoladeo Ghana National Park. Indigenous water birds and many migratory water
birds can be seen in this sanctuary along with larger animals such as Sambhar,
Chital, Nilgai and Boar. The foundation of this Bharatpur wildlife sanctuary was
laid in 1760 when the Maharaja of Bharatpur made an artificial lake and the dam
at this very site to store the water brought by the annual floods in this area.
Over 300 bird species are found in this 29-sq-kmswildlife park of divided into
the stretches of marshes, scrubland and grassland. It got its name as Keoladeo
Ghana Park on account of an ancient Hindu temple at the centre of the national
park devoted to Lord Shiva. The term 'Ghana' is derived from Hindi, which means
dense and refers to the thick forest, which covers the entire area. Bharatpur
became a national park on 10 March 1982, and was given the status of a World Heritage
Site in December 1985. Keoladeo has been famous for the last visiting pair of
