Kipling wrote his impressions of Bundi in Letters of Marque .... "Jeypore Palace may be called the Versailles of India; Udaipur's House of State is dwarfed by the hills round it and the spread of the Pichola Lake; Jodhpur's House of strife, gray towers on red rock, is the work of giants, but the Palace of Bundi, even in broad daylight, is such a palace as men build for themselves in uneasy dreams-- the work of goblins rather than of men."

The Rajputana of yore, set amidst the great Thar, the only desert of the sub-continent, is known not only for the sizzling heat and the dunes but also for the warmth in the hearts of the people. Considered as the most colourful region of India, this exotic land of valiance and chivalry has an unusual diversity in all its forms people, customs, culture, costumes, music, manners, dialects and cuisine etc. It is the land of superlatives, everything here is breathtakingly beautiful, impressive and fascinating. Rajasthan is endowed with invincible forts, magnificent Palaces and Haveli. We will confine ourselves only with the southern Rajasthan - The Hadoti region that is BUNDI
Visiting Bundi is like stepping into a time warp. It seems Bundi have successfully halted the ruthless march of time retaining its medieval flavor.
