Jhunjhunu was established by Kaimkhani Nawabs in the middle of the fifteenth century, and stayed under their manage until it was taken by the Rajput ruler Sardul Singh in 1730 AD, which held up till the Indian independence. It was in Jhunjhunu that the British based their Shekhawati brigade, a troop advanced nearby in the 1830s to attempt to halt the activities of the dacoits (bandits).
Petty rulers were very much on the place they decided it was easier to become affluent by pinching other people's money than to get their own. Jhunjhunu is one of the biggest cities in Shekhawati and is the current district headquarters. Has few of the most gorgeous buildings in the area's and not to be missed. The artistically painted havelis Muragh Das Modi, and Khaitans are fascinating.
