Bharatpur State was a former princely state located in the northern part of India, primarily in the present-day state of Rajasthan. Established in the 18th century, it was ruled by the Sawai dynasty and became known for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. The state was famous for its wildlife, particularly the Keoladeo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts numerous migratory birds. The capital of Bharatpur State was also named Bharatpur, which features several historical monuments, including the Lohagarh Fort and the Bharatpur Palace. The state played a crucial role during the Indian independence movement and was integrated into the Indian Union in 1947, eventually becoming part of Rajasthan.
