Etymology

Sawai Madhopur is named after Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I (born 20 May 1728 – March 5, 1768) (Reign: c. 1750 – c. 1768), the ruler of Amer, who established the city in 1763. In Sanskrit, the term "pur" (or "pura") is often employed to denote a city or town. "Sawai Madhopur" can be interpreted as "The City of Sawai Madho" or "Sawai Madho's City," serving as a tribute to Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I, the founder of the city.

History

The early history of Sawai Madhopur can be associated with Ranthambore Fort.

Chahamanas of Ranastambhapura 1192–1301
Delhi Sultanate 1301–1526
Mughal Empire 1526–1562
Jaipur State 1562–1949
Rajasthan 30 March 1949–Present

Early history

The origin of Ranthambore Fort can be traced back to the 8th century when it was initially built by the Chauhan Rajput king, Sapaldaksha. Over the centuries, it underwent several modifications and expansions under different rulers.

Chauhan Dynasty (8th to 13th Century)

Ranthambore Fort gained prominence during the rule of the Chauhan Dynasty. It served as a strategic stronghold, protecting the region from invasions until the early 13th century. The Chauhan rulers, particularly Rao Hammir Dev, made substantial contributions to fortify and expand the structure.

Delhi Sultanate (13th to 14th Century)

In 1226, the fort was captured by the Delhi Sultanate under the command of Sultan Iltutmish. It remained under the control of the Delhi Sultanate until the mid-14th century. Alauddin Khilji, another ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, besieged and captured the fort in 1301 after a fierce battle with the Chauhan king Rao Hammir Dev. The fort was further fortified and expanded during this period.

Mewar Kingdom (14th to 16th Century)

The fort saw a brief period under the control of the Rajput rulers of Mewar. However, it was frequently contested and changed hands multiple times.

Mughal era (16th to 18th Century)

In the 16th century, Ranthambore Fort came under Mughal rule. Emperors Akbar and Aurangzeb, in particular, recognized its strategic importance. Akbar, known for his interest in architecture, added structures to the fort.

Maratha influence and British Colonial Period (18th to 20th Century)

During the 18th century, the fort saw the influence of the Marathas. It played a crucial role in the power struggles of the time.

In 1754, Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II bestowed this property upon Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I of Jaipur, who subsequently dedicated it as the Maharaja's exclusive hunting retreat, a tradition upheld ever since.

The fort also has connections to the British era, witnessing the signing of the Treaty of Ranthambore between the British East India Company and the Marathas in 1818.

Sawai Madhopur was built as a planned walled city by Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I of the State of Jaipur and the city is named after him. Founded in 1763, Sawai Madhopur celebrates its Foundation Day annually on 19 January.

The Sawai Madhopur Lodge, now a hotel, survives as a relic of the days of tiger hunting from the colonial India. The lodge was built in 1936 by Maharaja Man Singh II (1912 – 1971) and used as a hunting lodge until his death. The two-storey crescent-shaped building is constructed with a long verandah. Queen Elizabeth of England visited the lodge in January 1961. The former US President, Bill Clinton, along with his family, also visited Ranthambore, Sawai Madhopur on 24 March 2000.
