Hie people, so I am once again back with my new blog post on "Tourist Spots in Jhalawar".
Jhalawar, being my hometown, is a nice place to visit. And I always wanted people to know about it, as it just covers a very small part of the state but provides various things to the whole country which people are not aware about. Oranges, which is consumed by whole country is provided by major two cities- Nagpur (the number one) and Jhalawar (the number two supplier), therefore it is also known as Chota Nagpur.
So today I am gonna tell you what are the places to visit in Jhalawar and a brief description about them.
History of the district
The territory of the present district belonged to the princely state of Jhalawar till India's independence in 1947. This princely state was carved out from another princely state of Kota on April 8, 1838 by a treaty between the British and the rulers of Kota state.
