Sightseeing in Bundi
Bundi Palace :
Adjacent to the fort and past the bazaar, a wooden
gate leads to the beautiful Bundi Palace. The
highlight of this palace is the beautiful murals that
carry the spectators back into the time of Bundi
royalty. The murals cover almost entire palace walls,
however, all these areas are not open for public
viewing barring the Chitrashala. For visiting other
areas, special permission needs to be obtained from
the secretary of the Maharaja of Bundi. Photography is
not allowed otherwise Bundi palace, illuminated with
lights during night, presents a glowing beauty to be
captured on camera.
Nawal Sagar :
Bundi -this city is relatively less explored as in
comparison to the other tourist destinations in
Rajasthan. But if you want to travel along the
slightly off beaten track, Bundi is definitely a good
bet. You are sure to be enamored by its quaint charm.
The Nawal Sagar Lake, Bundi also boasts of a temple
right in its center. Dedicated to Varuna, the God of
water according to Hindu religious belief, this temple
is half submerged in water.
The 20th century palace, with an artificial tank and
picturesque gardens. Presently, it is the residence of
the former ruler (Prior permission of Secretary is
required for a visit.)
Shikar Buri :
The royal hunting lodge set amidst the lush
surroundings. It is a favourite picnic spot.
Sukh Mahal :
A magnificent summer palace on the Sukh Sagar Lake
amid the lush surroundings of a beautiful garden. An
underground tunnel is believed to run from the Sukh
Mahal to the old palace.
Taragarh -Bundi :
It was built in 1345 and is great ramble around at
leisure. This is rather a ramshackle fort, with its
overgrown vegetation. The view over the town and
surrounding countryside from the top are magical,
especially at sun set. Inside the ramparts are huge
reservoirs carved out of solid rock, and the Bhim
Burj, the largest of the battle- fields, on which
there is mounted a famous cannon. Taragarh is
reached by steep road leading up the hillside to its
enormous gateway.
