Placed on the main Delhi-Mumbai railway line, Sawai Madhopur
is the entryway to the world famous Ranthambore National Park-
the famous Tiger Reserve, just 12 km away from here. Ranthambore
has been a witness to the rise and fall of many rulers and
a series of battle scenes. In the 13th century A.D. Govinda,
the grandson of Prithviraj Chauhan took over the reign of
the land. Later his successor Vagabhatta beautified the city
and built a noteworthy temple at Jhain. In the middle of the
15th century A.D. Rana Kumbha captured the fort and gifted
it to his son to be occupied later by the Hada Rajputs of
Bundi and Mughal Emperors Akbar and Aurangzeb. Mughal Emperor
Shah Alam gifted it to Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I of Jaipur
in 1754 and since then it was maintained as the hunting preserve
of the Maharaja. Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh
