Kota, previously known as Kotah, is a prominent city in Rajasthan. It is an emerging industrial epicenter situated on the banks of River Chambal. Kota is still largely unexplored territory and has splendid treasures for tourists. Its invincible fortresses, sprawling palaces, and delightful waterways act as a magnificent foil to its exotic wildlife and delicate fresco paintings.<\/p>\n

Though a modern city now, memories of its ancient links linger strongly. The foundation of the city was laid down 800 years ago by a Kotya Bhil warrior who built a small fortification at Akelgarh and put up a protective mud wall around it all the way to Retwali. In the year 1580, Rao Madho Singh reinforced both the fortification and the wall. Later, it became the hallmark of Rajput power as well as culture.<\/p>\n

When it comes to tourism, there is no dearth of attractions in the city of Kota, some of which we will explore here.<\/p>\n
