Bundela

Bundela Rajputs are a prominent Rajput clan primarily associated with the Bundelkhand region, which spans parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The Bundelas rose to prominence during the late medieval period and established several powerful kingdoms and principalities, including Orchha, Datia, Panna, and Jhansi. Known for their martial valor, patronage of art and architecture, and fierce resistance against the Mughals, the Bundelas played a significant role in the history of central India. One of the most notable rulers was Raja Vir Singh Deo of Orchha, who built magnificent temples and forts that still stand today. The Bundela Rajputs are remembered for their chivalry, cultural contributions, and pivotal role in regional politics from the 16th to 19th centuries.
