Bundi Tourist Places, Rajasthan |
City of Stepwell
A moment in history caught and held. Bundi is a dream remembered
- named after Bunda, a Meena chieftain. A Rajput town so ancient
that one gets the feeling of having stumbled upon a page of
history.
Bundi and Kota were once a singly
principality ruled by the Hada Chauhans, an offshoot of the
famous clan of Chauhans who ruled Delhi and Ajmer.
After the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan by Sultan Mohammed Ghori
in 1193, the Chauhan nobles sought sanctuary in Mewar. They
were welcomed and proved allies to the Rana.
Yet some young warriors ventured on their own overpowered the
Meena and Bhil Tribals of Chambal valley and established the
kingdom of Hadavati or Hadoti.
Later two branches of the Hadas formed two separate states on
either sides of the Chambal. These were Kota and Bundi. Bundi
town nestles in a narrow valley, enclosed by huge walls and
fortified by four gateways.
In the centre of the township lies a lake. A medieval fortress
stands sentinel to this city - amute witness to history and
time. Bundi is famous for its intricate paintings and murals.
