The term ‘Bundi’ can be traced from a former Meena king called Manan Shreshta. Earlier, it was called ‘Bunda-Ka-Nal’ which means narrow ways. Geographically, Bundi was located in the Aravali Hills of Rajasthan. Later Rao Dev Hada took charge of it from Jaita Meena in 1342. So, they named it Haravati or Hatori. It was divided into two distinct states, Kota and Bundi on either side of Chambal. Bundi became famous for its intricate murals paintings.
