Bundi
is the undiscovered splendour, 36 Kms from Kota ruled by the Hada Chauhans.
First destination is HADOTI. Set in a narrow inclining gorge. The palaces and
forts have fairy tale quality about them.
Isolated and independent, this picturesque location has much to offer. Rajput
architecture shines and in the intricately carved brackets, pillars etc. Interesting
places are Diwan-e- aam, Hati Pol, and Naubat Khana.
The small sleepy town of Bundi, a rather unexplored city with rich historical
wealth, is surrounded by the Aravali hills on three sides and is circumscribed
by a massive wall with four gateways. Impressive medieval forts, palaces and
temples with beautiful stone idols and chhatris(Cenotaphs) with carved pillars
along with a scenic lake in the heart of the town that add to its charm
Taragarh Fort
It was built in 1345 and is great ramble around at leisure. This is rather a
ramshackle fort, with its overgrown vegetation.
The view over the town and surrounding countryside from the top are magical,
especially at sun set.
Inside the ramparts are huge reservoirs carved out of solid rock, and the Bhim
Burj, the largest of the battle- fields, on which there is mounted a famous
cannon.
Taragarh is reached by steep road leading up the hillside to its enormous gateway.
Take a path up behind the chitra Shala, go east along the inside of the ramparts
then left up the steep stone ramp just before the Dudha Mahal, a small disused
building 200m from the palace.
