Bundi Palace, Rajasthan: Built by Rao Ratan Singh, in the 14th century. Bundi is situated in the Eastern Part of Rajasthan, closed to the more famous city Kota that is about 40 kms away. It was constructed in AD 1354 upon a steep hillside. There are three gateways to the fort, well known as Lakshmi Pol, Phuta Darwaza and Gagudi ki Phatak. Most parts of these impressive gateways are now in ruins. The special attraction of this fort is colorful display of “Bundi School painting”. Galley of Bundi Palace is a visual delight. This gallery is the part of a beautiful palace, known as Ummed Palace, built by Rao Ummed Singh. The best wall paintings in the Bundi style are still available in the Chitrashala, Badal Mahal, Phool Mahal and Chandra Mahal. These paintings are displayed in excellent conditions, well preserved and truly fascinating to attract millions of visitors, but Bundi is still hidden from the tourist map.
