About marwaris.com
A record of Rajasthan — its monuments, places, institutions and public life — district by district, with the Marwari community’s business and philanthropy at its core. A Section 8 non-profit: no ads, no paywalls, no sponsored entries.
How a list is compiled
Every list ships with a methodology page stating its inclusion criteria, its sources and its cut-offs. If a list has no published method, it does not ship. Where a list is complete against its source — every ASI-registered monument in a district, say — it says so, and it is ordered alphabetically rather than ranked.
We do not reprint another publication’s ranking as our own. A “top ten” taken from a travel guide is that guide’s editorial judgement wearing our name.
What a source has to be
Every published claim carries at least one citation, and wherever possible the supporting sentence is stored alongside it so the record survives the link dying.
Sources are not all equal, and this site does not pretend otherwise. Filings, official registers, government records and reported journalism carry the most weight. Aggregated and encyclopaedic sources carry less. Both may back a published claim here, and where a claim rests only on an aggregated source the page says so on its face, marked aggregated source. Nothing is presented as filing-grade evidence when it is not.
This is a lower bar than the one this site launched with, which accepted only filings and named-byline journalism. It was lowered deliberately, on 2026-07-31, to cover Rajasthan at the scale the subject actually needs. The trade is stated here rather than buried.
Money figures
Every money figure carries its as-of date and a link to the source it came from. Where the figure is a published estimate — a third-party rich list — rather than one computed from a filing, the page says so beside the number, marked estimate. You should never have to read the methodology to find out which kind of number you are looking at.
This site launched with a stricter rule: no money figure at all unless it was computed from a public disclosure. That changed on 1 August 2026, deliberately, so that wealth rankings could be published at all. It is a real loosening and it is recorded as one. What has not changed: this publication estimates nothing itself. Every figure here is one somebody else published, attributed to them, or one computed from a filing. There is no code in this site that works out what anyone is worth.
If we have something wrong
Anyone recorded here may contest a claim. A contested claim is marked disputed on the page rather than quietly removed — we do not delete inconvenient history, ours or anyone else’s. Corrections are published and dated, and a retracted page keeps its address rather than vanishing.

How this is funded
Donations, and nothing else. No advertising, no paywall, no premium tier, no paid placement on any list. There is no way to buy an entry here, and there never will be — the absence is the point.
