Salumbar

Salumbar lies among the hills of southern Mewar and was the seat of the Chundawat chiefs, a prominent branch of the Sisodia Rajputs. Their estate formed part of the network of local lordships that supported the maharanas of Mewar. The chief of Salumbar held a senior position in the court and was associated with command of the royal vanguard. Fortified residences and local shrines expressed the standing of the family in the surrounding hill country.
