Bundi, Historical city in northwestern Rajasthan, India.
Description
Bundi is a city in Rajasthan situated between fruit orchards and the Aravalli mountain range, with narrow streets lined by blue-painted buildings. The place holds more than fifty stepwells of various designs that served as water storage and collection points for centuries.
History
The city was once the capital of the Hadoti Kingdom under Hada Chauhan rule until Kota separated and became independent in 1624. This split marked the beginning of the place's gradual decline in political importance.
