2. MAHAL KHAS PALACE
"If Rajasthan is the Jewel in the
Crown of India, the Bharatpur of
this state is its Hidden Jewel"
Once the seat of power of the
Rajasthan Jats, Bharatpur was
once surrounded by an 11-Km
long wall (now demolished)
which acted as the first line of
defense.
The Jats maintained a high
degree of autonomy, because of
their prowess in battle.
You can very well feel their
velour after a visit to Lohagarh
or the Iron Fort, which
dominates the skyline of this
beautiful town.

4. GLORIOUS HISTORY OF BHARATPUR FROM 1635 TO 1949
Bharatpur – The “Eastern Gateway to Rajasthan”, and Lohagarh
Fort were built by Maharaja Suraj Mal in 1733 A.D. The Lohagarh
Fort, true to its name stood solidly in the face of many British
attacks, frosted them to ends. It faced the British onslaught four
times and after a long siege they had to withdraw. It is very
different from the other forts in the state, there is no flamboyance
associated to fort but it generates an aura of strength and
magnificence. The fort is surrounded with moat which was
previously filled with water to ward off the enemy attacks.
The main entrance of this grand fort is the “Ashtadhatu Gate”.
Ashtadhatu means eight metals. This north facing imposing
gateway with huge rounded bastions and paintings of war
elephants carry a unique history. Originally it belonged to the
Chittorgarh which was taken to Delhi by Alauddin Khilji. The
victorious Jats tore it down from the walls of imperial Delhi during
their attack in 1764 and brought it back with them to Bharatpur .
