==History==

===Hindaun in the ''Bhagavata Purana''===

In the ancient times, the city was under rule by the [[Matsya Kingdom]], which was ruled by Meenas. A large population of Meenas can be seen in nearby villages. There are many ancient structures still present in the town built during the rule of the Matsya Kingdom. Traditionally, in some mythological stories the city is believed to be associated with the mythology of [[Hiranyakashipu]] and [[Prahlada]] mentioned in ''[[Bhagavata Purana]]''.

Local tradition tells us that Hindaun (Hindon) was the capital of [[Hiranyakashipu]], father of [[Prahlada]]. Because of this, the area is known as '''Hiranakus Ki Kher'''. ''Kher'' in Hindi means "capital". This is further confirmed by the existence of monuments like '''Hiranakus Ka Mandir''', '''Prahlada Kund''', '''Nrisinha Temple''', '''Hiranakus Ka Kua''', and '''Dhobi Pachhad'''. About 40 years back there was a sculptor of Hiranakus in '''Hiranakus Ka Mandir.''' It has been replaced by [[Rama]] the [[temple]] has become famous as '''Raghunath Mandir'''. '''Hiranakus Ka Kua''' is situated in the heart of the city and the ruins nearby are part of the '''Bharon temple'''. Langda Bharon (Langur) is very popular in the Karauli area. '''Dhobi Pachhad''' is believed to be the spot where [[Prahlada]] was thrown out of the Palace. There is also a place called '''Holika Dah''' where [[Holika]] tried to burn [[Prahlada]] but she herself was destroyed in the fire.

Hindaun is named after the ancient king [[Hiranyakashipu]], father of [[Prahlada]]. The temple to [[Narasimha]], an [[Avatar]] of Hindu God [[Vishnu]] who killed [[Hiranyakashipu]], which demonstrates the city's connection to the mythology surrounding [[Hiranyakashipu]] and [[Prahlada]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.karaulilive.com/hindaun.aspx |title=History of Hindaun |accessdate=23 May 2015}}</ref>

===Hindaun and the Mahabharata===
Hindaun is also associated with the era of Mahabharata. It is believed that the name of the city is derived from ‘Hidimba’, sister of Hidimb, a demon. The Kauravas had tried to kill the Pandava when they were staying in the Lakshyagriha, but the Pandavas managed to escape. They went into the then Matasya Kingdom, currently known as Alwar region. Bheema, one of the Pandava Brothers, met Hidimba when he was wandering in the Hiranya Karan Van forest. Hidimba fell in love with Bheema and wanted to marry him. Hidimba's brother Hidimb, a demon fought with Bheema, but he was killed by Bheema. Bheema and Hidimba soon got married and had a son named Ghatotkacha, who was a great warrior and died during the war of Mahabharata.

{{Main | Keoladeo National Park}}
[[File:A view of the Bharatpur bird sanctuary.jpg|thumb|A view inside Keoladeo National Park]]
Being a [[World Heritage Site|UNESCO World Heritage Site]], the duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the most major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from [[Afghanistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], [[China]] and [[Siberia]]. Some 364 species of birds have been recorded in the park. It is 100 km from [[Hindaun City]]. The name "Keoladeo" is derived from the name of an ancient Hindu temple devoted to [[Lord Shiva]]. In the sanctuary's central zone, the Hindi term "Ghana" implies dense, thick areas of the forest cover. It is mainly famous for its Siberian crane. It was the only habitat of [[Siberian crane]] in the world, other than Siberia. The species has stopped reaching the park. The main reasons for this are being cited as lack of conservation measures in India, diversion of water for farmers instead of saving the wetlands as per then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's orders,<ref>{{cite news |title=Vasundhara govt refuses water to Keoladeo Park |first=Sandipan | last=Sharma|newspaper=Indian Express |date=5 February 2005 |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/64100/ |accessdate=28 April 2012}}</ref> hunting during migration in Pakistan and the Afghanistan as well as the war against Taliban in Afghanistan.<ref>{{cite news |title=Siberian Cranes give Bharatpur a miss |author= Anuradha Nagraj|newspaper=Indian Express |date=22 January 2003 |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/17100/ |accessdate=21 June 2011}}</ref>

The reserve was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1958 and came under [[Project Tiger]] as [[Sariska Tiger Reserve]] in 1979.
