state of Rajasthan. It is located about 240 kilometres (149 mi) south of the state capital, Jaipur,
situated on the banks of Chambal River. With a population of over 1.2 million, it is the third most
populous city of Rajasthan after Jaipur and Jodhpur, 46th most populous city of India and 53rd

The city of Kota was once the part of the erstwhile Rajput kingdom of Bundi. It became a
