HISTORY OF BANDHAVGARH TIGER RESERVE
The history of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve is a blend of mythology, royal hunting grounds, and modern conservation efforts. Here’s a breakdown of its fascinating past
- Mythological Beginnings: Legend says the prominent Bandhavgarh Fort, which sits atop a hill, was gifted by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshman for vigilance (Bandhav = brother, Garh = fort).
- Royal Hunting Grounds: Evidence suggests the fort and surrounding areas were inhabited for centuries. By the time of the Maharajas of Rewa, the region became their private hunting reserve called Shikargaah. This period saw unrestricted hunting, impacting the wildlife.
- Conservation Efforts: Recognizing the ecological importance, Maharaja Martand Singh of Rewa played a key role in declaring Bandhavgarh a National Park in 1968. The dwindling tiger population in India led to Project Tiger’s launch in 1973, and Bandhavgarh became a Tiger Reserve in 1993. This significantly improved conservation efforts.
- Interesting Fact: The first white tiger ever recorded, Mohan, was captured here in 1951 by Maharaja Martand Singh.
