Hadoti is a historical region located in the southeastern part of the Indian state of Rajasthan. It encompasses the districts of Bundi, Kota, Jhalawar, and Baran. Named after the Hada Rajputs, a branch of the Chauhan clan, the region's identity began taking shape in the 13th century when Rao Deva conquered Bundi in 1241 CE, followed by the capture of Kota in 1264 CE.

Geography

The south-eastern region of Rajasthan, also known as Hadoti, lies between the Malwa Plateau to the east, the Aravalli Range to the west, and the Marwar Plateau to the southwest, bordering the state of Madhya Pradesh. The major river of the region is the Chambal River, along with its tributaries — the Kalisindh, Parvati, Parwan, and Chapi rivers. The predominant soil type in the region is alluvial, supporting extensive agriculture.
