Maharaja Suraj Mal founded Bharatpur in 1733 AD. The city is named after Bharat, the brother of Lord Ram. The trio of Bharatpur, Deeg and Dholpur has played an important part in the history of Rajasthan.Bharatpur was the major Jat State in Rajasthan. Badan Singh established and founded the fort and palaces of Deeg in 1725. Seven years later, his son laid the foundation nearby of the fort of Bharatpur. Lohagarh fort is one of the main attractions of Bharatpur. This magnificent 18th century fort was built by Raja Suraj Mal. Bharatpur is better known to the world for the Keoladeo National Park or bird sanctuary, a unique bird place. Bharatpur is considered as the Eastern Gateway to Rajasthan.
