About Alwar
Alwar was an ancient Rajput state, known for its rich natural heritage, beautiful lakes and valleys. This city was formerly known as 'Mewar’, the people of the state did not accept any external interference’s and daringly resisted against foreign invasions. In the 12th and 13th centuries they formed a group and raided Delhi. But finally Sultan Bulban (1267 A.D. - 1287 A.D.) suppressed them, bringing the area under the Muslims rule. Maharaja Pratap Singh, a Kuchhwaha Rajput belonging to the clan of Jaipur’s rulers, won back Alwar In 1771 A.D. and founded a principality of his own. Situated between small hills of the Aravali range Alwar is 170 km from Delhi and 150 km from Jaipur. Alwar is also known for its finest wild life sanctuary in Sariska.
