History says that in 1193 AD, when Prithvi Raj Chauhan was defeated by Sultan Mohammed Ghauri, some Chauhan nobles moved towards the Chambal Valley and over powered the Meena and Bhil tribals to form their own kingdom of Hadoti, which later flourished as the two branches of Kota and Bundi on either side of the River Chambal.
