Bhiwani- An Industrial Town
Today a major industrial town, Bhiwani
name comes from goddess Gauri Bhawani, Shiva’s wife, and is also
called little Kashi because there are about 300 temples within the
town. Prithiviraj ki Kutchery (also known as Baradari) is where
Prithviraj Chauhan, the Hindu ruler, held a durbar of sorts.
Other interesting sites are shrines of Khera Baba and Lohar pir.
There’s the Loharu fort also, and an ancient Harappan mound
although not much is left of what was originally on it; the samadhis
(tombs) of Todar Singh and Baba Shami Dayal and the mosque and tomb of
Raja Khetri.
