Located high on a hill of aravalli mountain range, it is the principal tourist attraction in Bundi.

What is interesting is that unlike other palaces in Rajasthan, there is very little Mughal influence in its architecture and the Fort represents a rare example of Rajput style - pavilions and kiosks with curved roofs, temple columns with carved brackets, covered with elephants and flowers.

Since this was a very hard type of stone, instead of resorting to fine carving the Bundi rulers decided to cover their walls and ceilings with splendid paintings.

The Badal Mahal, built at the highest point in the fort, also has a fine collection of paintings on its walls.

The murals depict a variety of themes such as ragamala paintings, love stories and court processions; and they are influenced by Mughal and Mewar styles.
