Places of Tourist Interest Near Bundi


SUKH MAHAL 
Sukh Mahals evoke memories of Rudyard Kipling who not only stayed here but found inspiration for his famous work ‘Kim’.


KSHAR BAG & CHRISTIAN GRAVEYARD
Kshar Bag is situated close to Chhatra Vilas Garden and has the cenotaphs of the former rulers of Kota.

Close to the Nayapura Circle is the graveyard of British soldiers who were killed during the uprising  of 1857 AD.

GARH PALACE
The foremost tourist attraction in Kota is the 'Garh'. This large complex,
also called the City Palace is built in a predominantly Rajput style of architecture. The palace is a rambling complex of suites and apartments built by different rulers at different times.

RAO MADHO SINGH MUSEUM
Situated in the old palace, it houses a splendid collection of Rajput miniature paintings of the Kota school, fascinating sculptures, arms and valuable antiques. 

 
MATHURA DHISH TEMPLE
This is the most important seat of Vallabhacharya sect of the devotees of Lord Krishna. In the 18th century, the then ruler of Kota, Durjanshal brought the image of Lord Krishna from Bundi. Seated in the heart of the city, the Lord bestows his blessings on the masses.

ABHEDA MAHAL & KARANI MATA TEMPLE
Situated about 8 kms. from Kota on the bank of a tank. This medieval palace was the recreation spot of the rulers of Kota, where they went to enjoy watching the wildlife and natural beauty. Close to Abheda Mahal is Karni Mata Temple, the reigning deity of Kota.

DAD DEVI TEMPLE
It is situated about 18 kms. from Kota. The temple deity of the royal household of Kota is surrounded by thick forests and is an ideal place to spend some quiet moments.

CHARAN CHAUKI
On the way to Dad Devi, 15 kms from Kota City, Charan Chauki marks the legendary spot where Lord Krishna is said to have rested for a brief while travelling to Dwarka from Mathura. The footprints of the Lord have been preserved here.

SAFARI ON CHAMBAL RIVER
Gods have been very kind  to the City of Kota. They have blessed it with life giving water of Chambal River and lots of bright sunshine. Chambal River runs through deep gorges and high rise mud walls, gurgling falls and pebbled ruffles. Its turquoise blue water provides sustenance to jade green forests and bountiful crops.

 
PHOOL SAGAR
The Phool Sagar is an excellent and well-planned structure as also the decoration of this Rajput edifice. The same beauty and its excellence lies in the massive  Taragarh fort. This little town has not yet lost a medieval grandeur. Bundi is not exactly a tourist tramping ground but nevertheless, this adds on to its appeal with a curiosity to explore it. The look of the town has a bluish hue similar to that of Jodhpur. The original history claims that Bundi was once the capital of the great Hadoti Kingdom. However Kota, in 1624, was separated and became an independent State.This marked the beginning of downfall of Bundi. 


The exquisite beauty of its surroundings, its isolation from the madding crowd, its rivulets, hills and valleys, lush green fields, its charm during rainy season, rich variety of flora and fauna, magnificent palatial structures, its winding ways and above all, the simplicity of the rural folk lend the city of Bundi a uniqueness that hardly any place of tourist attraction in the state can claim. It was basically for this reason that Rudyard kipling was mesmerized by its beauty which he captured and expressed in this literary works.


Taragarh Fort
It was built in 1345 and is great to 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 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.
