Bharatpur
(Keoladeo
Ghana National Park)
|
The Keoladeo National Park or Keoladeo Ghana National Park
formerly known as the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary in Bharatpur,
Rajasthan, India is a famous avifauna sanctuary that plays
host to thousands of birds especially during the winter
season. Over 230 species of birds are known to have made
the National Park their home. It is also a major tourist
centre with scores of ornithologists arriving here in the
hibernal season. It was declared a protected sanctuary in
1971. It is also a declared World Heritage Site.
Keoladeo Ghana National Park is a man-made and man-managed
wetland and one of the national parks of India. The reserve
protects Bharatpur from frequent floods, provides grazing
grounds for village cattle and earlier was primarily used
as a waterfowl hunting ground. The 29 km2 (11 sq mi) reserve
is locally known as Ghana, and is a mosaic of dry grasslands,
woodlands, woodland swamps, and wetlands. These diverse
habitats are home to 366 bird species, 379 floral species,
50 species of fish, 13 species of snakes, 5 species of lizards,
7 amphibian species,7 turtle species, and a variety of other
invertebrates. Every year thousands of migratory waterfowl
visit the park for wintering breeding etc. The Sanctuary
is one of the richest bird areas in the world. It is known
for nesting of its resident birds and visiting migratory
birds including water birds. The rare Siberian cranes used
to winter in this park but this central population of Siberian
Cranes is now extinct. According to Sir Peter Scott Keoladeo
Sanctuary is the world’s best bird area.The sanctuary
was created 250 years ago and is named after a Keoladeo
(Shiva) temple within its boundaries. Initially, it was
a natural depression; and was flooded after the Ajan Bund
was constructed by Maharaja Suraj Mal, the then ruler of
the princely state of Bharatpur, between 1726–1763.
The bund was created at the confluence of two rivers, the
Gambhir and Banganga. The park was a hunting ground for
the maharajas of Bharatpur, a tradition dating back to 1850,
and duck shoots were organised yearly in honor of the British
viceroys. In one shoot alone in 1938, over 4,273 birds such
as mallards and teals were killed by Lord Linlithgow, the
then Governor-General of India.
The park was established as a national park on 10 March
1982. Previously the private duck shooting preserve of the
Maharaja of Bharatpur since the 1850s, the area was designated
as a bird sanctuary on 13 March 1976 and a Ramsar site under
the Wetland Convention in October 1981. The last big shoot
was held in 1964 but the Maharajah retained shooting rights
until 1972. In 1985, the Park was declared a World Heritage
Site under the world Heritage Convention. It is a reserve
forest under the Rajasthan Forest Act, 1953 and therefore,
is the property of the State of Rajasthan of the Indian
Union. In 1982, grazing was banned in the park, leading
to violent clashes between local farmers and the government.
