Overview
Bharatpur - The 'Eastern Gateway to
Rajasthan',
was founded by Maharaja Suraj Mal in 1733 AD, it was once an impregnable
well fortified city, carved out of the region formerly known as Mewat. The
trio of Bharatpur, Deeg and Dholpur has played an important part in the
history of Rajasthan.
The place was named as Bharatpur after the name of Bharat, the brother of
Lord Rama, whose other brother Laxman was worshipped as the family deity
of the Bharatpur. The legends say the rulers Laxman's name is engraved on
the state arms and the seals. The city and the fort have been believed to
be founded by Rustam, a Jat of Sogariya clan. Maharaja Suraj Mal took over
from Khemkaran, the son of Rustam, and established the empire. He fortified
the city by building a massive wall around the city.

The interesting aspect of the Bharatpur history is the domination of Jats
in the region since 17th century. Leaders like Churaman and Badan Singh
brought the jats together to mould them into a force to reckon with. Suraj
Mal has been the greatest ruler who made them a formidable force and played
a very important role in the Indian history during 19th century.
