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.
