Neemrana is an ancient historical town in Alwar district of Rajasthan, India, 84 Km. or 52 Miles from Gurgaon; 122 Km. or 76 Miles
from Delhi and 150 Km. or 93 Miles from Jaipur on the Delhi-Jaipur highway in Neemrana tehsil.
It is between Behror and Shahajahanpur. Neemrana is an industrial hub.It is the site of a
16th-century hill-fort occupied by Chauhans till 1947. The erstwhile ruling family is considered to
be of the direct lineage of Prithviraj
Chauhan. Some distance from
Neemrana is another fort, Kesroli in Alwar district, that is one of the oldest heritage sites.
Historians trace it to the Matsya Janapada of the Mahabharata times. In Kesroli one gets to see the oldest remains
of Buddhist Vihara at Viratnagar where the Pandavas spent the last year of their exile incognito;
Pandupole, with the only reclining statue of Hanuman; the samadhi of the ruler saint Bhartrihari. Haryanvi language and culture are followed in this area as
it is just a few kilometers away from the border of Haryana and Rajasthan.
The Rajas of Nimrana belong to
the Sankat sub-clan and Kharak family of the Chauhan clan. Rao Rajdeo, Rao of Nimrana was the founding Raja
of Neerana in 1464. He was the 6th in descent from Rao Madan Pal, founder of
Mandawar in 1170.The state of Nimrana from 1885 to 1907 was managed by a
political agent during the younger years of Raja Janak Singh and Raja Janak
Singh was granted full ruling powers in February 1907. During this period Ladha
Singh Bhatia was installed as the Wazir of Neemrana.
