Khetri Fort ", know what else is special!
Khetri town in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district is famous for its copper mine. This is an area of Shekhawati. In fact, Khetri is divided into two towns. One of them is that which was built by the king 'Kshat Singhji Nirvana'.
Many people will not even be heard about Khetri, which is 170 km away in the southwest of Delhi and 150 km from Jaipur to the north-east direction. This panoramic place is the history-land of Rajput pride, which is now confined to folk tales and tales of the past.
Actually seeing the fort from the sky, it appears in the design of the map of India. Fort-thick walls of the fort are clearly visible from the sky, which make 'India's mini map' on the green color.
This is the same Khetri on which, once a person named Narendranath Datta (who was known as Swami Bibidishananda at that time) has repeatedly turned to financial aid and wrote a long letter to the then ruler Ajit Singh Bahadur with his thoughts -By was doing it. Ajit Singh was a disciple of Swami and he had suggested the name of Vivekananda. After giving his famous lecture in the Parliament of the World Religions in Chicago in September 1893, Kirti was the first to return to Swami Vivekananda.
Khetdi is the place where his elder brother Nandlal had come to know about Motilal Nehru in his childhood. Nandlal was a teacher before King Fateh Singh's diwan was there. In this Kheddi, Nandlal had hidden the news of Fateh Singh's death in 1870 and made Ajit Singh his successor by adopting Ajit Singh at the age of nine years from Alsisar near nearby. Nandlal later moved to Agra and finally settled in Allahabad, whose heritage was extended to his younger brother Motilal and later Motilal's son Jawaharlal.
