Introduction :
|
|
This picturesque little town in Rajasthan, the atmosphere of which more or
less remains, fills a narrow valley in the oldest hills in India: the
Aravallis. This walled town, 37 km north of Kota, lies in the north of
the former Hadaoti state, shielded on the north, east and west by jagged
outcrops of the Vindhya range. Bundi, renown for its intricate paintings
and murals, made a perfect capital of a major princely state during the
heyday of the Rajputs. According to legend, back in the 12th century,
restless young nobles of the warrior Chauhan clan conquered the Bhil and
Meena tribals of these lands.. Kota was a part of Bundi until its
separation in 1624 at the instigation of the Mughal emperor, Jehangir. |
