Sawai
Madhopur was built by Sawai Madho Singh-I in 1765. The history
of Sawai Madhopur traces back to the time when the legacy of
Muslim rulers were about to start in the country leading to
numerous political unrests and power shifting. It was the time
when after the fall of Prithviraj Chauhan, a number of Chauhan
kingdoms vanished and a number of battles was staged on the
land of Rajasthan. It was Govinda, the grandson of Prithviraj
Chauhan who ruled Sawai Madhopur as a feudatory of the sultan
of Delhi in the 13 th century.
After his death, his successor Vagabhatta took control of Ranthambore
fort and ruled for 12 years and was involved ion frequent battles
with the sultans. Sawai Madhopur throne suffered many changes
and shifting in authority, but it was Sawai Madho Singh I who
restored its previous glory in the 18 th century. In 1754 Mughal
Emperor Shah Alam handed over the control of Ranthambore Fort
to Sawai Madho Singh and the surrounding area of the fort was
used as the personal hunting ground of the king. From a king's
personal gaming ground to the famous national park of present
time, Sawai Madhopur has come a long way.
