KOTA - Destination Overview |
 The
history of Kota is linked with the history of Bundi.
Both Bundi and Kota came under the rule of the Chauhans
in the 12th century. The descendents of the Chauhans
set up their capital at Bundi and ruled from here. While
Bundi was the capital, Kota formed the land granted
to the eldest son of the ruler. This arrangement continued
until 1624. In 1624, Emperor Jahangir, the great Mughal
ruler, partitioned Bundi and made Kota an independent
state. Rao Madho Singh, son of the ruler of Bundi, ascended
the throne of Kota. It became a part of the British
Empire in 1818 and later became a part of the Indian
state of Rajasthan, when it gained independence in 1947.
Major attractions of the city are the exquisitely carved
palaces and well laid out gardens. Prehistoric caves,
paintings, formidable forts and the mighty chambal river
hurtling from the Vindhyas are dotted in the region.
Kota is situated on the banks of chambal river and
is fastly emerging as an important industrial centre.
It boasts of Asia's largest fertilizer plant, precision
instrument unit and atomic power station nearby.
