80 km west of Kota on the highway- NH 27 to Chittorgarh are three interesting locations.
The first is Bijolian. A great cultural center of the Chauhan kings in the 10th century. It has yielded some key stone inscriptions mentioning the full genealogy of the great Chauhan kings and the first historical mention of Delhi dating back to 1170 A.D. Later Bijolia came under Mewar and was a stronghold of a Parmar feudatory. It has some very ancient and beautiful temples. The Shiva and Ganesh temples being of rare beauty. There used to be as many as a hundred temples around this place but now most are ruined.
