The long preface.
If you only see Lohagarh and Keoladeo you have seen Bharatpur's two famous chapters.

Archaeological excavations at Bajna village, near Deeg, have unearthed artifacts belonging to the Mahabharata-era, Maurya, and Shunga periods — pottery and terracotta statues dating back 2,500 to 2,700 years.
