Bundi
One of Rajasthan's lesser-known gems, beautiful Bundi is a
quiet, relaxed town, full of friendly people and gorgeous
architecture. With cattle-choked cobble-stone streets,
delicately-carved
baoris(step-wells), a high proportion of haveli-style
houses and numerous graceful temples, Bundi also has an added
aesthetic attraction - the fact that most of its buildings are
painted a soothing, cooling blue. The effect is magical, and has
contributed to Bundi being termed 'one of the most photogenic
towns' in all of India. Notable tourist attractions in Bundi
include the 14th-century Taragarh (or 'Star') Fort and the
heavily-frescoed Bundi Palace, both built on nearby hilltop. Hike
up at sunset, sit on a ruined rampart, and watch the blue city
begin to gleam in the gathering twilight.
Information & Facts
Language
Although English is generally used for official and
business purposes, Hindi is the official language and is spoken by
about 40 percent of the population. Urdu is the language common
with the Muslim demographic. India has a total of 22 official
languages
Money
The currency is the Indian Rupee (INR), which is divided into
100 paise (singular paisa). Major currencies can be changed at
banks, and authorised bureaux de changes. It is impossible to
obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in
India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is
illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is
advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart
from the National Bank. It is best to change money into small
denominations. Travellers cheques and major credit cards are widely
accepted, particularly in tourist orientated establishments. ATMs
are not generally available.
