Bundi and Kota were once a single principality ruled by the Hada Chauhans, an offshoot of thefamous clan of Chauhans who ruled Delhi and Ajmer. After the defeat of Prithvi Raj Chauhan bySultan Mohammed Gori in 1193, the Chauhan nobles sought sanctuary in Mewar. They werewelcomed and proved allies to the Rana.
Yet some young warriors ventured on their own, overpowered the Meena and Bhil, tribals of theChambal valley and established the kingdom of Hadavati or Hadoti. Later two branches of theHadas formed two separate states on either side of the Chambal. These were Kota and Bundi.
