Kota is situated on the eastern bank of the Chambal river. Kota and Bundi shared common history for some years as originally both were parts of the kingdom Hadoti which was founded in the 12th century by the Hada Chieftain, Rao Deva. Years later in the 17th century, the ruler of Bundi Rao Ratan Singh separated Bundi from Kota, since then it was considered a separate and independent state.
