It was called '''Bundi Kingdom''' before several states separated), is a [[List of regions in India|region]] of [[Rajasthan]] state in western [[India]]. The biggest cities are [[Bundi]] and [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]]. It includes the districts of [[Bundi]], [[Baran district|Baran]], [[Jhalawar]] and [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]], and is bounded on the west by the [[Mewar]], on the northwest by [[Ajmer region|Ajmer]] regions of [[Rajasthan]], and on the south by the [[Malwa]], on the east by the [[Gird]] regions of [[Madhya Pradesh]] state. ==History== [[Image:Hadotiregion.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Hadoti region of Rajasthan]] The name of the region is derived from the [[Tripta Hada]] [[Rajput]]s, a branch of the great [[Chauhan]] Rajput clan. The Hadas settled in the region in the 12th century and dominated the area for several centuries thereafter. Hada Rao Deva conquered [[Bundi]] in 1241 and nearby [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]] in 1264. At one time, the Hada-ruled state of Bundi encompassed the present-day districts of [[Baran district|Baran]], Bundi, Kota, and [[Jhalawar]]. The importance of Bundi state diminished over the years: as early as in 1579, it was deprived of the region which became a separate Kota state; the alienated area included all of what later became a separate [[Jhalawar]] state in 1838. However, Bundi state did remain an independent entity, if only nominally, up to and during the [[British Raj]]. After the [[independence of India]] in 1947, it became part of the [[Dominion of India]] (later the [[Union of India]]). {{coord missing|Rajasthan}}
