The fort was built in 1354 A.D., and is one of the most impressive forts of Rajasthan. Located on a thickly wooded hill is a marvelous white fort with a huge reservoir which once supplied water to the palace.
The Palace:
This magnificent edifice showcases the Rajput architecture. The palace houses some of the superb Bundi murals.
Chhattar Mahal or Palace or Towers:
A steep, paved carafe-way is the only way to reach the monument. Of special interest in the palace is the Hazari Pol or Gate of the thousand, the Naubat Khana, the Hathi Pol with its old water clock and the Diwann-e- Aam.
Ratan Daulat:
It is a very interesting structure built by Rao Raja Ratan Singh, forming a stable for nine horses and a Hatia Pol. Prior permission required to visit this place.
Chitrashala:
This is an interesting pavilion and a gallery of miniature murals adorn the palace. Elaborate colorful paintings on the walls depict scenes from the 'Ragmala' and 'Raaslila'-the Radha-Krishna story.
Nawal Sagar:
Visible from the fort is the square artificial lake of Nawal Sagar, broken up by islets. A temple dedicated to Varuna, the Aryan god of water,stands half submerged in the center of the lake. The reflection of the entire city and its palaces can be seen in the lake -making it a unique attraction of Bundi.
