It 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 Ranthambhore 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 Ranthambhore 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.
