Madhav National Park is situated in Shivpuri District of Gwalior division in northwest Madhya Pradesh, India.

[1] There are several small ponds in this national park, but the largest body of water is Sankhya Sagar, a reservoir,[3] constructed for Madho Rao Scindia when it was still his hunting grounds.

A viewing lodge constructed by the Maharaja called the Shooting Box, is situated above the Sakhya Sagar lake.

All around the lake (at suitable points), the Maharaja constructed boat landing areas, picnic shelters, watch towers, hides, etc.
