 This
is a small National Park; compact, yet full of game. The density of the
Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India.
This is also White Tiger
country. These have been found in the old state of Rewa for many years.
The last known was captured by Maharajah Martand Singh in 1951. This
White Tiger, Mohan, is now stuffed and on display in the palace of the
Maharajahs of Rewa.
Prior to becoming a
National park, the forest around Bandhavgarh had long been maintained as
a Shikargah, or game preserve, of the Maharajahs of Rewa. Hunting was
carried out by the Maharajahs and their guests - otherwise the wildlife
was relatively well-protected.
