Chandra Prabha Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Chandauli district, India.
The sanctuary extends across 78 square kilometers of the Kaimur Range, featuring dense forests, waterfalls, and two rivers that support diverse ecosystems.
Originally established as a hunting preserve for Benares rulers in the 18th century, the area received protected status as a wildlife sanctuary in 1957.
The sanctuary contains waterfalls named Rajdari and Devdari, which hold traditional importance and draw visitors interested in natural heritage.
Located 70 kilometers from Varanasi, the sanctuary offers multiple hiking trails and observation points for viewing wildlife including leopards, deer, and 150 bird species.
In 1958, three Asiatic lions were introduced to the sanctuary, and their population grew to eleven by 1969 before their mysterious disappearance in 1970.
