History of
Ranthambhore |
|
The famous ruler of Ranthambore was Rao
Hammir Deo Chauhan who fought against Alauddin Khilji in 1301 A.D.
Govinda, the grand son of Prithviraj Chauhan took over the reign on
this land in the 13th century. Later, he was succeeded by Vagbhatta
who built a stately temple at Jhain and beautified Ranthambore. Many
battles were fought. Many rulers won and lost. In the middle of the
15th century, Rana Kumbha captured the fort and later handed it over
to his son. Thereafter, the Hada Rajputs of Bundi and the Mughal
emperors, Akbar and Aurangzeb, occupied this magnificent fort. When
Aurangzeb died, the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam gifted it to Maharaja
Sawai Madho Singh I of Jaipur in 1754 and since then it was maintained
as the private hunting preserve of the Maharajas of Jaipur.
Ranthambore was then the private hunting reserve of the Maharaja of
Jaipur. Among the more famous who were part of these hunting parties
were Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. |
