Earlier, Bandhavgarh was used as a hunting ground by kings and now the natives of this region have come together to protect the diversity of flora and fauna in the region. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ram gifted a fort near the National Park to his younger brother Lakshman, which is why Bandhavgarh translates to ‘Brother Fort’. Not much earlier, Bandhavgarh National Park was declared a Tiger reserve in 1993 under the Conservation Project. It houses various species - 22 mammals and 250 bird species - in a perfect ecosystem.
