Why this is listed
“It should be noted that most of the prominent Marwari families in fact come from the Shekhawati region consisting of the following districts: Jhunjhunu, Sikar, and a part of Bikaner. For example, these include the Birla from Pilani, the Singhania from Bisaw, the Dalmia from Chirawa, and the Saraf from Mandawa (see Map).”

“Chirawa and Nawalgarh (today towns in modern-day Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan) have for some reason historically produced the largest concentration of prominent Marwari business families. The Dalmias, for example, are from Chirawa itself, while the Birlas are from Pilani, a distance of 17 kilometres. Nawalgarh, which produced the Goenkas, Khaitans, Poddars, Kedias, Ganeriwalas and Murarkas, is only 60 kilometres away. The Singhanias, Bajajs, Mittals, Ruias and Sarafs hail from other nearby towns and villages.”
