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
