Baghels were the ruling empire of this region (as the capital of their state) after which they shifted their kingdom's capital to Rewa. By 1993, the National Park of Bandhavgarh was developed into a tiger reserve under the Project Tiger Scheme which reserved different breeds of tigers, especially the Royal Bengal Tigers.
