The erstwhile city of Alwar, in north-eastern Rajasthan, is possibly the oldest kingdom in kingdom-studded Rajasthan. In 1500 BC it formed part of the Matsya territories of Viratnagar (present-day Bairat), which also encompassed Bharatpur, Dholpur and Karauli.

The city of Alwar is believed to have founded by a member of the Kachh family who hailed from Amber, but control was wrested from the Kachhwahas of Nikumbhas. They in ruin lost the city to Bada Gurjara Rajputs of Machari. It passed to the Khanzadas, under Bahadur Nahara of Mewat, who converted from Hinduism to Islam to win the favour of Emperor Tughlaq of Delhi. At this time, Alwar was part of the kingdom of Mewat.

Alwar is very famous among tourists for its Kalakand also known as Alwar Mawa on the other hand Sariska for its beautiful Palace and Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan.
