[10][6] Subsequently, a British officer was appointed to oversee the political affairs of Dholpur and to manage the education of Maharaj-Rana.

[13] He was invested with full ruling powers by Sir Edward Bradford, the-then Agent to the Governor-General of India for Rajputana, on 19 February 1883.

[16] This occurred when Jiwajirao Scindia, the Maharaja of Gwalior, visited Dholpur and embraced Nihal Singh, the Maharaj-Rana.

[22] These sadhus objected to killing animals in the forest on religious grounds, and it is believed that the idea of the first sanctuary originated thus.

[22] Maharaj-Rana and Herbert Cunningham Clogstoun made further improvements, and another area was designated as a sanctuary after the creation of an artificial lake by building a dam on the Banganga River in 1904.
