Attractions

The Dabhai Kund
Also known as the "Jail Kund,"this is the largest of the stepwells in Bundi. Though slightly overgrown, it is worth visiting for the stunning carvings on the steps that descend to the water level.

Naval Sagar Lake - 18th Century
As you enter the town, this square artificial lake catches your eye. Visible from the fort and palace, it features a half-submerged temple dedicated to Varuna, the Aryan god of water. The lake's waters beautifully reflect the old city, fort, and palace.

Raniji ki Baori
Built in 1699 by Queen Nathavati Ji during her son Budh Singh's reign, this multi-storied stepwell is adorned with intricately sculpted pillars and arches. It also features places of worship on each floor.

Taragarh Fort
Known as the "Star Fort," it is one of Bundi's most impressive structures. Built in AD 1354 on a steep hillside, the fort houses the Bhim Burj bastion from the 16th century, which once mounted the colossal cannon called "Garbh Gunjam" or "Thunder from the Womb."
