Origin of name

Jhunjhunu gets name after Jujhar Singh Nehra (1664 – 1730) or Jhunjha, a Jat chieftain of Rajasthan. The Jats through Jujhar Singh and Rajputs through Sardul Singh agreed upon a proposal to fight united against Muslim rulers and if the Nawab were defeated Jujhar Singh would be appointed the Chieftain. Jujhar Singh one day found the right opportunity and attacked Nawabs at Jhunjhunu and Narhar. He defeated the army of Nawab Sadulla Khan on Saturday, aghan sudi 8 samvat 1787 (1730 AD). According Kunwar Panne Singh[1], Jujhar Singh was appointed as Chieftain after holding a darbar. After the ‘tilak’ ceremony of appointment as a sardar or chieftain, the Rajputs through conspiracy killed Jujhar Singh in 1730 AD at a lonely place. Jujhar Singh thus became a martyr and the town Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan was named so after the memory of Jujhar Singh or Jhunjha.[2]

Jujhar Singh Nehra conquered the city in samvat 1787 (1730 AD). This is clear from the following poetry in Rajasthani Language -

Satrahso Satashiye,Agahan Mass Udaar,

Sadu linhe jhunjhunu,Sudi Athen Sanivaar.

Prior to this, Jhunjhunu was controlled by the Muslim Nawab Rohella Khan. The Muslim Nawab 'Sadulla Khan', incharge of Jhunjhunu, was defeated jointly by Shardul Singh and Jujhar Singh Nehra. But, as per Kunwar Panne Singh's book 'Rankeshari Jujhar Singh', Jujhar Singh was killed by Shekhawats after he was appointed the chieftain. It is clear from the poetry in Rajasthani Language -

Sade, linho Jhunjhunu, Lino amar patai,

Bete pote padaute pidhi sat latai.

Jhunjhunu town was established in the memory of Jujhar Singh, the above Jat chieftain of Nehra gotra. The town was made the capital of the new Shekhawati. The town is famous for frescos on grand Havelis, which is speciality of the Shekhawati region.
