Besides the national park, it has rich cultural heritage with palaces and forts reflecting the fusion of Mughal and Rajput architecture. Lohagarh Fort, a massive iron-structured bastion, and Bharatpur Palace are prominent historical sites, exhibiting a collection of artifacts and providing an insight into the erstwhile princely state. The city also acts as a hub for bird watchers and nature lovers, drawing tourists worldwide to its avian sanctuary, which hosts thousands of rare and highly endangered birds, such as the Siberian Crane, during the migratory season. Bharatpur's economy is primarily agriculture-based, with the region around being dotted with farming fields and includes a diverse demographic fabric that is reflective of the larger North Indian tapestry.
