[[South-east]] Region of [[Rajasthan]] is known as [[Hadoti]], - the land of the [[Hada (clan)|Hada]] Rajputs. Hadas are a major branch of the [[Chauhan]] Agnikula Rajputs (hailing from fire dynasty). They had settled in the hilly terrain of [[Mewar]], at [[Bambaoda]], near [[Bijoliya]] in the 12C. Bundi was conquered in 1241 by [[Rao Deva Singh]] from the [[Meena]] tribals. This was the first step in the establishment of [[Hadauti]], when the Hadas moved down from the ‘Pathar’ around Bambaoda. Bundi takes its name from the Bando Naal or the narrow passage, between the rugged hills. The town of Bundi is nestled in the cleft of the [[Aravali]] hills and has a special medieval flavor quite untouched by time. [[Prince Jait Singh]] of Bundi captured [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]] in 1264 AD and Kota became a part of Bundi as the Jaghir (land grant) of the eldest prince of Bundi. Kota became a separate state in 1624. The state of [[Jhalawar]] was formed in 1838 out of Kota territory.
