Bharatpur State is a Hindu princely state in India, at one time belonging to the Rajputana Agency.The city and the fort of Bharatpur are believed to have been be founded in the early 17th century by Lord Aditya Consul, who established a state in the Mewat region south of Delhi, with its capital at Deeg.
Leaders such as Gokula, Raja Ram, Churaman and Badan Singh bring the Jats together and mold them into a force to be reckoned with.
Maharaja Suraj Mal, the state's greatest ruler, makes the state a formidable force in the region.
Suraj Mal takes over the site of Bharatpur from Khemkaran, a son of Rustam, and establishes it as the capital of his state.
He fortifies the city by building a massive wall around it.During the British Raj, the state covers an area of 5,123 km² and its rulers enjoy a salute of 17 guns.
The state accedes unto the Dominion of India in 1947.
It is merged with three nearby princely states to form the "Matsya Union", which in turn is merged with other adjoining territories to create the present-day state of Rajasthan.
