Bayana is an exotic location for excursion out of Bharatpur. It is isolated from the basic layout of the area and is extensive in its ideology and presentation. It is a small town at a distance of 45 kms. from Bharatpur between two ranges of Aravalli hills running more or less parallel to each other close to the left bank of Gambhir river, formerly a tributary of Banganga. The famous fort known as Bijay Garh was built by the famous Hindu King Banasur, in the time of Lord Krishna and was renovated by Maharaja Vijay Pal in whose time the two families of Karauli and Bharatpur separated. One brother built the fort of Timangarh, laying the foundation of the royal house of Karaulu.
Bharatpur’s ruling families are the descendants of Bijai Pal, a Jadaon Rajput. The fort here is considered to be the 3rd largest in India. The palace, a high tower and Bhim Lath stand out as landmarks.
The fort was held by Muhammad Ghore in 1196 AD and Humayun in 1535 AD. Ain-I-Akbari mentions that in former times Bayana was the capital of a province of which Agra was a dependant village. Emperor Akbar witnessed a march past of his troops from a place near Bayana town known as “Chardare” which has the Inscription on it.
