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.
