| History of Bundi |
|
In 1193 AD when Prithvi Raj
Chauhan was defeated by Sultan Mohammed Ghauri,
some Chauhan nobles seek shelter in Mewar and
became allies to the Rana while other warriors
moved towards the Chambal valley and overpowered
the Meena and Bhil tribals - thus establishing
their own kingdom of Hadoti. Later, two branches
of Hadas formed two separate states of Kota and
Bundi, on either side of the River
Chambal. | | |
