Kota
The
south eastern region of Rajasthan known as Hadoti comprises of Bundi, Baran,
Jahalwar and Kota is treasure of history dating back to several centuries. Prehistoric
caves, paintings, formidable forts and the mighty chambal river hurtling from
the Vindhyas are dotted in the region.
When Jait Singh of Bundi defeated
the Bhil chieftain Koteya in a battle, he raised the first battlement or the 'Garh'(Fort)
over his severed head.
The independent State of Kota became a reality
in 1631 when Rao Madho Singh, the second son of Rao Ratan of Bundi was made the
ruler, by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Soon Kota outgrew its parent state to become
bigger in area, richer in revenure and more powerful. Maharao Bhim Singh played
a pivotal role Kota's history, having held a 'Mansab' of five thousand and being
the first in his dynasty to have the title of Maharao.
Kota
is situated on the banks of chambal river and is fastly emerging as an important
industrial centre. It boasts of Asia's largest fertilizer plant, precision instrument
unit and atomic power station nearby.
