History of Bundi

In 1193 A.D. when Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Sultan Mohammed Ghauri, some Chauhan nobles seeked shelter in Mewar and became allies to the Rana while other young warriors move towards the Chambal valley and overpowered the Meena and Bhil tribals-thus establishing their own kingdom of Hadoti. Later, two branches of Hadas formed two separates states of Kota and Bundi, on either side of the river Chambal. Bundi is known for its excellent paintings and the chitrashala or hall of paintings has some of the best known works seen in any rajasthani palace. Rudyard kipling the writer stayed at Bundi. Initially unhappy about his welcome to bundi, he was housed in a pavilion 'open to the winds of heaven, and the pigeons of the Raja'. But the letter had 'polluted more than the first could purify', and Kipling found that it was in fact, 'a beautifully lazy city, doing everything in the real, true, original native way... Another bastion of royalty of the past, this oasis in the desert has a present which is steeped in the past. Bundi is an example of Rajasthan's rich culture and tradition.
