36 km
from Kota is a tiny picturesque town, Bundi. One of the unexplored
cities with a rich historical wealth. Once a part of Kota, it was
ruled by the Hada Chauhans - an offshoot of the famous Chauhan clan
who ruled Delhi and Ajmer.
In 1193 A.D., when Prithvi Raj Chauhan was defeated by Sultan Mohammed
Ghauri, some Chauhan nobles necked shelter in Mewar and became allies
to the Rana while other young warriors moved towards the Chambal
valley and overpowered the Meena and Bhil tribals - thus establishing
their own kingdom ofHadoti. Later, two branches of Hadas formed
two separate states of Kota and Bundi\ on either side of the River
Chambal.
Bundi is surrounded by the Aravalli hills on three sides and is
circumscribed by a massive wdlt with four gateways.
Interesting monuments including impressive medieval forts, palaces,
havelis, temples with beautiful stone idols and chattris with carved
pillars, along with a picturesque lake in the heart of the town,
add to its charm. Bundi is very famous for its intricate carvings
and murals.
