Maharaja Sardul Singh Shekhawat of Shekhawat clan conquered the city in 1787 from Nawab Sadulla Khan. Jhunjhunu town was established in the memory of Jujhar Singh, the Jat chieftain of Nehra Gotra, who fought with Sardul Singh to capture the city.
The town is famous for frescos on grand Havelis, which are common in the Shekhawati region. The Shekhawati Marwaris are some of the most successful businessmen in India today.
India has always fascinated me for different reasons. The vastness of its culture, the diversity of people’s opinions and the limitations of its vision. Despite our diversity, we need to have a collective vision. India is not a country of four metropolis or a couple of high-tech cities. This nation of a billion people has 29 states and 6 union territories. We have 35 state and territorial capitals. How much do we know about each of these important cities?
Professionally I am a graphic designer from Bombay, India. In 1987, I co-authored a book on Corporate India, but my desire to throw a wider net and pick up much more information remains intact. I want my people from every city and every state to write and photograph details and information that would be interesting to the viewers around the world. We have so much to talk about and so much to share - this medium and this technology can help fulfill our collective dreams.
