The city of
Nawalgarh was founded by Nawalsingh, the forth of the
five brothers in 1737 AD on an existing village of
Kaimkhanis. Nawalgarh is one of the Heritage cities of
Rajasthan. It is situated in the geographically
well-defined region of Shekhawati known as open gallery
museum of India and lies as a triangle between Delhi
Jaipur and Bikaner. It comparises of two districts of
Jhunjunu and Sikar and lies about 280 kms from Delhi and
175 kms from Jaipur. The name derives from Rao Shekha, a
baron of the Kachhawaha clan of Rajput related to the
rulers of Jaipur. Shekha conquered and held considerable
territories in this part of Rajasthan in 15th cent. |

That
retained and subdivided in his Heirs, the Shekhawats is
known as Shekhawati.
By 1738, it became again came under the control of
Jaipur state due to their association with the Mughals.
By 1831 Shekhawati had again become restless and fallen
out of Japiur's hand and by the 1837 was under the firm
control of the British. With this came the time of
stability and raise of the new merchant class the 'Marwaris'.
The Shekhawati Marwaris were known to trade in quality
at very low mark ups, however it added to the volumes
and obviously their profits rose. Gigantic mansions or
havelis are testimony to the business acumen of a
community that was always able, by its timely moves, to
amass substantial fortunes. Even when the trade rivalry
with the British had pushed the Marwaris from Shekhawati
to the port towns of Calcutta and Bombay, they never
cease to think of Shekhawati as their home land. And
this explains the enormous structures raised in
nostalgia with nouveau riche pride.
Kothi was built by the late Shri Anandilal Hemraj
Koolwal in the year 1934. The legacy of Anandilal
Hemraji lives on inside the exquisitely designed Haveli
and Kothis. He not only made these Havelis but also
constructed Dharamshalas Hospitals, Rest houses for the
needy and also donated a lot of wealth for charity
