An
amazing, juxtaposition of majestic medieval age and
modern industrialization, mainly the Hydro Electric
Plant on the Chambal River and the Nuclear
Power Plant has a few traces of its past still left. The
fort overlooking the river Chambal is the foremost
tourist attraction. It also houses the museum with a
rich collection of art and artefacts and some
elaborately painted chambers.
 Earlier it was a part of Bundi state, but later
it grew to be a bigger state. What retains the past
glory are the untouched wealth of impressive forts,
opulent palaces and temples dating back over several
centuries. These temples were conquered by the Hada
chieftain Rao Deva. It was at the time of the
Mughal Emperor Jahangir that Rao Ratan Singh gifted this
territory to his son Madho Singh. The Kota state
reflects in the form of a beautiful collection of
Stone Idols (murties) in the Raj Mahal, embellished with
gold stained glass work on the walls, the silver mirror work on
ceilings and the marvelous wall paintings.
