 History of Bundi, Rajasthan, tells of a fascinating tale, to say the least. Bundi was once the capital of one of the former princely states of Rajasthan. The architectural magnificence of the monuments of Bundi still reflect the grandeur of the erstwhile local Rajput chiefs. The walls of Bundi's palaces are adorned with life-size frescoes that depict the glory of its rulers.
In the ancient era, Bundi was evidently inhabited by several local tribes. One of the prominent tribes who ruled here were the brave Meenas. It is believed that Bundi owes its name to Bunda Meena, one of the former Meena kings. In the 12th century, the area of Bundi came under the rule of Chauhan rulers. The descendents of these Chauhans made Bundi their center of power and ruled from here.
Origin of Bundi can be traced back to the Hada Rajputs. The region of Hadoti in which Bundi stands has taken its name from these Hada Rajputs who were an offshoot of the brave Chauhan clan. From 12th century onwards, the Hadas dominated the area of Bundi for a long time. Bundi was conquered by these people in 1241. In 1264, even Kota came under their rule. At one point of time, the state of Bundi that was ruled by the Hadas encompassed the contemporary districts of Bundi, Kota, Baran and Jhalawar.
The importance of Bundi, however, declined over the years. In the year 1579, it was deprived of the area which later became the Kota state. The alienated region included all of what became Jhalawar state later in 1838. Nevertheless, Bundi state did held on to its independent status, even though somewhat nominally, up to and during the era of the British rule. After India gained independence in the year of 1947, Bundi became a component of the Dominion of India, which later became the Union of India. Thus, it goes without saying that the History of Bundi is a chequered one.
