    Solution

    Madhav National Park, which recently became India's 58th tiger reserve, is located in the Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh. It is specifically situated in the Shivpuri district and represents Madhya Pradesh's 9th tiger reserve. The reserve spans 1,751 square kilometers, comprising a 375 square kilometer core area and a 1,276 square kilometer buffer zone. The park houses five tigers, including two cubs, and was named after Madho Rao Scindia, the former Maharaja of Gwalior. Historically, these forests served as hunting grounds for Mughal and Scindia rulers and feature the George Castle, built by the Scindias for King George V's anticipated 1911 visit.
