Sawai Madhopur was the massive stronghold of the Rajput King Hamir who was defeated by Allauddin Khilji's army in 1301 AD. A glorious era in the history of Sawai Madhopur was, when Emperor Akbar invested it in 1569. This event was recorded by his artists in miniature paintings of the Akbarnama. Later the fort was handed over to the rulers of Jaipur and remained with them till 1949 when Jaipur state became a part of Rajasthan. In 1955 Sawai Madhopur became a sanctuary and was one of the very first protected areas. Now a national park, it has an area of over 400 square kilometers with a tiger population of a little over a hundred.
