The name Bandhavgarh comes from the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort, believed to be gifted by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana (Bandhav means brother, Garh means fort).

Once a hunting ground for the Maharajas of Rewa, it was declared a national park in 1968 and later became part of Project Tiger in 1993.
