History & geography

History

Karauli was a part of the Matsya Kingdom (1400-300 BCE), one of the 16 ancient Mahājanapadas. Earlier, Karauli, along with Alwar, was part of the Matsya kingdom, according to the legend of Mahabharata. The modern princely state Karauli State was founded in about 995 by ruler Raja Bijai Pal Jadaun, who claimed descent from the Hindu god Krishna. His Highness the Maharaja maintains a military force of 281 cavalry, 1640 infantry, and 56 guns, and is entitled to a salute of 17 guns (as of 1892). The Britishers later occupied it, and they ruled up to 1947. The Maharaja's palace is a handsome block of buildings, some of them dating to the mid-18th century. Karauli State was founded by Maharaja Bijaipal. The dynasty is said to be of Yaduvanshi Jadaun Rajputs.
