The area in later medieval times was ruled by the Sinsinwar clan of the Hindu Jats.

[5] Bharatpur, also known as ‘Eastern Gate of Rajasthan’, is located in the Braj region 180 km away from Delhi.

[6] There are only three main seasonal rivers in this District, namely Ban Ganga, Rooparel and Gambhir.

Rooparel River starts from hills of district Alwar and enters into Bharatpur from tehsil Kaman.

The other ten tehsils are: Bayana, Bharatpur, Nadbai, Uchchain and Roopwas (Rupbas).

[8] In the 2011 census, the Bharatpur District had a population of 2,548,462,[3] roughly equal to the nation of Kuwait[10] or the US state of Nevada.

[13] Most speakers of Braj dialect record their language generically as Hindi in the census.

These Krishi Upaj Mandies are in Bharatpur, Nadbai, Weir, Bayana, Roopwas and Bhusawar.

Regular rail services connect Bharatpur with all the major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur and Agra.
