Hindaun is a Block in Karauli district of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Northern India.

Good grade stone, slate and some iron ore comprise the mineral resources of the area.

Local tradition tells us that Hindaun (Hindon) was the capital of Hiranyakashipu, father of Prahlada.

Hiranakus Ka Kua is situated in the heart of the city and the ruins nearby are part of the Bharon temple.

Bheema, one of the Pandava Brothers, met Hidimba when he was wandering in the Hiranya Karan Van forest.

Bheema and Hidimba soon got married and had a son named Ghatotkacha, who was a great warrior and died during the war of Mahabharata.

Hindaun, a city located in the eastern fringes of Rajasthan State, is getting developed into an important tourist destination for its age old architecture and association of these monuments with various phases of Indian culture and history.

This place was previously known as Chandanpur but was renamed Shri Mahaveer Ji when the idol of Mahavira was excavated over 200 years ago from the same spot, after which the temple was constructed.

Nakkash Ki Devi - Gomti Dham Temple is in Hindaun City, and is located in the Karauli district in Rajasthan, India.

The temple is dedicated to the tutelary deity, goddess Kaila Devi, of the erstwhile princely Jadaun Rajput rulers of the Karauli state.

Originally from Shri Vrindavan, Madan Mohan ji went to Amer in Jaipur with Raja Sawai Jai Singh II - the founder of Jaipur and from there was brought to Karauli in Rajasthan by Maharaj Gopal Singh after he conquered the battle of Daulatabad.

The name Balaji is applied to Sri Hanuman in several parts of India because the childhood (Bala in Hindi or Sanskrit) form of the Lord is celebrated there.

Its reputation for ritualistic healing and exorcism of evil spirits attracts many pilgrims from Rajasthan and elsewhere.

Hindaun City is associated with the demon King Hiranyakashyap, father of Lord Vishnu's devotee, Prahlad.

Timan Garh is a historical fort situated near Hindaun Block in the Karauli District in the Indian state of Rajasthan.

The main places of attraction in Hindaun City are: The Prahlada Kund, Hiranyakashayap ka kua & palace and The Jagar Dam, Kundeva, Danghati, the fort of Suroth, City of Moradwaja, the castle of Padampura, the Timan Garh & the well of Nand-Bhaujai are some popular attractions.

It is referred to as "an oasis in the desert" as its heights are home to rivers, lakes, waterfalls and evergreen forests.

Dressed in hued costumes, the people of the desert dance and sing haunting ballads of valor, romance and tragedy.

It was established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955 by the Government of India, and was declared one of the Project Tiger reserves in 1973.

Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the most major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia.

In the sanctuary's central zone, the Hindi term "Ghana" implies dense, thick areas of the forest cover.

The main reasons for this are being cited as lack of conservation measures in India, diversion of water for farmers instead of saving the wetlands as per then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's orders,[2] hunting during migration in Pakistan and the Afghanistan as well as the war against Taliban in Afghanistan.

Unfortunately though, the main reason for this is not for wildlife enthusiasm, but only its excellent proximity to some large towns like Delhi and Jaipur.
