Geography & terrain
Jhajjar lies in the Jhajjar district of Haryana, 60 km from Delhi and 70 km from Rohtak — the baoli town of the state, its stepwells, the havelis and the old temples set on the plains' flat country near the capital's edge.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the region's history of the plains' towns — the town's name from the Jat and the medieval settlements, with the town's baolis (the stepwells) of the old waterworks and the havelis of the merchant families; the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Haryana circuit, with the Jhajjar's old gates and the temples, gives Jhajjar its baoli-heritage character.
