\"Tigers<\/figure>\n\n

Declared a National Park in 1968 and a Tiger Reserve in 1972 under the Project Tiger and Wildlife Protection Act, Bandhavgarh National park was a Shikargah or game preserve for the Maharajas of Rewa and their guests. Spread across an area of 1150 sq.kms., Bandhavgarh has one of the highest densities of tigers in the world. Bandhavgarh is the original home to Mohan, the father of all white tigers in captivity today.<\/p>\n\n

The name \u201cbandhas-Garh\u201d translates to \u201cthe brother\u2019s fort\u201d and is believed to be gifted by Hindu God Rama to his devoted \u2018bandhav\u2019 (brother) Laxmana when they returned victorious over Lanka (Ceylon).
Inside the park, there are twelve natural waterholes, several other historical monuments, and remains of ancient caves that exhibit a 2000-year-old rich historical past.<\/p>\n\n
