Hunting The Bengal Tiger - A Favorite Sport Amongst Indian Rajas.
The legendary Bengal Tigers of India have always been considered the supreme sign of bravery and virility. Hunting tigers was a favorite sport amongst Maharajas and a test of courage. It was also only Royals who were permitted to hunt the Tigers. The Rajas went out in large groups almost like a procession. The Royal horses used for hunting were also of excellent breeding. Some famous hunting grounds include Ranthambore and Sariska in West India.
