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. Some 364 species of birds have been recorded in the park. It is 100 km from Hindaun City. The name "Keoladeo" is derived from the name of an ancient Hindu temple devoted to Lord Shiva. In the sanctuary's central zone, the Hindi term "Ghana" implies dense, thick areas of the forest cover. It is mainly famous for its Siberian crane. It was the only habitat of Siberian crane in the world, other than Siberia. The species has stopped reaching the park. 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, hunting during migration in Pakistan and the Afghanistan as well as the war against Taliban in Afghanistan.
