BUNDI - Destination Overview |
 The
area of Bundi came under the Chauhan rulers in the 12th century.
The descendents of the Chauhans set up their center at Bundi
and ruled from here. Bundi got its name from Bunda, one of
its former rulers. It was an important state at the peak of
Rajput glory in medieval times. The association with the Mughals
led to the decline of Bundi. In 1624, Emperor Jahangir pressurized
the local rulers and split the erstwhile state into two parts—Bundi
and Kota. Although the state lost its glory, it continued
to be an independent state within the British rule and became
a part of India when it gained independence in 1947.
Bundi
is located in the southern part of the state of Rajasthan,
in the northwestern part of India. It is located amidst
a hilly terrain, near a gorge. It is 206 km from Jaipur
and 36 km from Kota. Bundi is famous for its Kajli-teej
festival. This annual festival is held in July–August. |
