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
