Bird Sanctuary. 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 the western race of the Siberian Crane. Unfortunately, the pair
did not winter in Bharatpur for two years in succession ( 2003 & 2004) and
it is likely that this species is now extinct in India. After the visit, continue
