                        An Introduction

          This college stands in Deeg, ‘the town of ‘Jalmahals’ that lies in the midst of holy pilgrim- centres of Braj – GOVARDHAN and KAMYAVAN’. Deeg has been the capital of Maharaja Surajmal and his posterity. During the reign of Maharaja Surajmal (1748 – 63) and Maharaja Jawahar Singh (1763 – 68) Bharatpur has been a powerful territory. Under the command of these rulers the Jat warriors of this state invaded upto Agra and Delhi and obtained many stone images from historical palaces there and established them in the palaces of Deeg, of them the swing of Noorjahan and Baradari are particularly notable. The fort of Deeg is the best model of age-long grandeur, architecture, and military outflanking. In the old days of Delhi Saltanat, Marathas and Britishers (1805 – 26) many battles were fought here which determined the fate of Bharatpur. Due to ‘Jalmahals’ Deeg is also a popular tourism centre. There are so many flower gardens and beautiful parks in the ‘Jalmahals’.    The coloured fountains of Deeg have gained global recognition and attracted tourists not only from India but from abroad also. Presently the protection of ‘Jalmahals’ is under the supervision of central archaeological department.
