Bundi paintings, and Kota paintings and saris from nearby Kota.
Bundi is a small city
encircled by the Aravalli hills on three sides and is the administrative
headquarters of the district by the same name. It is an oasis built
of stone in the dry Hadoti region of south-eastern Rajasthan. It was home to local tribes, such as
the Meenas in ancient times and the land was named after its chieftain Bunda
Meena. In 12th century the
Hada Chauhans conquered the region and
named it Hadoti. The Hadas traced their lineage to the Chauhan clan. In medieval times this kingdom also
included the adjacent Kota.
The area is steeped in history and is famous for its grand forts, chattris,
miniature paintings and murals in the rich red, blue and green colours of the
land. Elaborate ‘baolis’ or stepwells, truly a place to rest and recoup from
the blazing summers, adorned with beautiful carvings, intersperse the region
