Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary or Keoladeo Ghana National Park is also known as a man made sanctuary. The Maharaja of Bharatpur made an artificial lake and the dam at this very site to store the water brought by the annual floods in this area in the year 1760 .While many of India's parks have been developed from the hunting pReservees of princely India. This bird's sanctuary, popularly known as Bharatpur Wildlife Sanctuary, is perhaps the only case where the habitat for indigenous and migratory birds has been created by a Maharaja. In the time previous to this Bird Sanctury, Bharatpur town of Rajasthan used to be flooded regularly every monsoon. Hence, an earthen dam (Ajan Dam) was constructed, to save the town, from this annual vagary of nature. The creations was made by extraction of soil for the dam and subsequently it became the Bharatpur Lake initially and later known as Bhartpur Bird Sanctuary where now over 300 species of birds are found in this sanctuary .
