From Jatland Wiki
Alwar is a city in Rajasthan. According to legend, the Pandavas took shelter in this region during the thirteenth year of their exile. In the mediaeval period also, Alwar was an important post of the Mughal empire. During this period Alwar was used as an important base to launch attacks on the fort of Ranthambore. It also served as an important halting station for the Mughal Emperors during their journeys between Agra and Ajmer. During the later part of the Mughal period, it was annexed by Jat ruler of Bharatpur. A Kachhwaha Rajput, Pratap Singh of Machheri, captured it from the Jats in 1775 and laid the foundation of a separate state of Alwar.
