Bundi

Bundi is a small town in eastern Rajasthan that is still not much explored and preserves the rich historical treasure. In 1193 AD when Prithvi Raj Chauhan was defeated by Sultan Muhammed Gauri, a certain Chauhan nobility secured refuge in Mewar and became associated with the Rana while other young warriors moved to the Chambal valley and mastered the local tribes thus establishing their own kingdom of Hadoti. Later, two branches of Hadas formed two separate states of Kota and Bundi, on either side of the Chambal River. Bundi is surrounded by the Aravalli Hills on three sides and is surrounded by a massive wall with four walkways. Interesting monuments include impressive medieval fort, palaces, havelis, temples with beautiful stone idols and cathedral idols with carved pillars etc. Bundi is very famous for its intricate sizes of murals.
