Indian Princely State Bundi old Fiscal Court fees Stamps

Bundi state located lying between 25° and 26° north, and 75° 15' and 76° 19' east. The Chauhan Rajputs, ancestors of the Bundi chiefs, came from northern India to Sambhar about 700 A.D. In 1342, Rao Dewa captured the town now called Bundi from the Minas.
Coat of arms: Bundi’s coat of arms is a shield depicting Garuda, the mount of Vishnu, flanked by winged griffins.
