merchant family in 1791, after they had left the village of
Churu following a disagreement with the Thakur.
The village was doing well until the late 19th century. It had been one of
the richest towns at the end of the 19th century. The Shani Temple of the
Saturday God has delicately painted frescoes. Marvellous cenotaphs of the
Poddars have exquisitely painted ceilings. The Ganga Temple and some
beautiful havelis add interest to the town.
