The prime
attraction in Bundi is the Taragarh Fort built in the 14th century. Inside
the fort, one can find Bhim Burj, a large battlement with a cannon placed
on it and a large reservoir carved out of single piece of rock.
The fort
offers a breathtaking view especially at sunset, which lends an ethereal
ambience to the place. The Bundi Palace adjacent to the fort has beautiful
murals and reflects the glorious era of the Indian royalty. The Bundi
Palace offers the tourist an enchanting spectacle hen it is illuminated at
night. Bundi is famous for its baoris or step wells. Of the fifty step
wells the few that have been maintained till date are the Raniji ki Baori,
Nagar Sagar Kund and Nawal Sagar. There is also a temple dedicated to Lord
Varuna, half submerged in the water of the lake, which can be reached,
only by a boat. Sukh Mahal, constructed during the reign of Umed Singh on
the banks of Sukh Sagar was once famed for its magnificence. The palace,
which has hosted the famous English writer Rudyard Kipling, is now the
government Irrigation Rest House. The Chaurasi Khambon ki Chhatri, located
south of the town is a pavilion supported by 84 pillars. It was
constructed in the year 1683 by Rao Anirudh Singh to honor the services of
Deva, his wet nurse. The two storied structure serves as a cenotaph as
well as a temple though the importance of the cenotaph seems to have
deteriorated with the passage of time.
Festivals
in Bundi
The most
popular festival in Bundi is the Kaili Teej, which marks the onset of
monsoon. The highpoint of the festival is the carrying of the Goddess Teej
through the streets of Bundi on a palanquin. The celebrations joyfully
merge with Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna.
