BUNDI 17 GUN SALUTE STATE
Bundi state located lying between 25° and
26° north, and 75° 15' and 76° 19' east. The Chauhan Rajputs, ancestors of the
Bundi chiefs, came from northern India to Sambhar about 700 A.D. In 1342, Rao
Dewa captured the town now called Bundi from the Minas.
Coat of arms: Bundi’s coat of arms is a shield depicting Garuda,
the mount of Vishnu, flanked by winged griffins. The shield is flanked by bulls
representing dharma or righteousness; it is crowned by a warrior emerging from
flames, signifying the creation-legend of the ruling Chauhan clan, which was
supposedly created from fire.
Bundi State was ruled
by Hada Chauhans. It was a princely state in the era
of British
India.
Its relations with the British were managed by the Rajputana Agency. The last ruler
of Bundi State signed the accession to join the Indian Union in 1949.
The Haraoti-Tonk Agency, with
headquarters at Deoli, dealt with the
states of Tonk and Bundi,
as well as with the state of Shahpura.
Bundi
State was founded in 1342. On 10 Feb 1818 it became a British protectorate. Bundi's last ruler
signed the accession to the Indian Union on 7 April 1949.
