Tihawali village, located about 7 kilometers north of Mandawa town on the Bikaner-Delhi "Highway SH-45," is a unique village in Sikar district with an exemplary history. According to locals, a family from the "Chahar" [Jat lineage] settled here, and before them, there was a "Gusain Ji temple" which still exists today and is worshipped by the "Kamdar" community.
The ancient name of this village was known as "Talaai." Later, during the time of the "Sikar Darbar," Raja Bagh Singh's father—contemporary to the Sikar ruler—became upset due to internal conflicts. At that time, the monarchical Raja Kalyan Singh granted 600 bighas of land near Fatehpur in Sikar state for settlement. However, while leaving the darbar, Raja Bagh Singh's father remained firm on Raja Kalyan Singh Ji's word and declared, "I will stay in Sikar state for sure, but I will not drink its water until my dying breath." Thus, he went to Khalasi village in Jhunjhunu district (near Mandawa town), constructed a fort there, and the actual name of Talaai was changed to Tihawali [TIHAWALI] by the Rajput descendant "Raja Bagh Singh." Today, it is the second largest village after Beswa in the Fatehpur assembly constituency and the largest in Ramgarh Shekhawati tehsil. Here, along with [Rajput descendants - Shekhawat], [Muslim descendants - Mughal, Bhati, Maniyar, Qureshi, Gaud], [Jat descendants - Kulhari, Bana, Datusaliya, Nehra, Chahar, Duld], and other castes including Khatri, Kumhar, Nai, Rawana, Brahmin, Naik, Meghwal, and others, a population of about 7,000 resides.In the medical field, there is a government hospital; in education, a government secondary school and private educational institutions; an Atal Seva Kendra for information and benefits of government schemes; a Kisan Seva Kendra and Co-operative Society for farmers; banking facilities via Bank of Baroda; a large tank for purified water under the Kumhram Drinking Water Lift Canal project; Gaurav Path for easy access under the central government's scheme; and many other facilities. The village is imbued with communal harmony, featuring Hindu temples [⛺ Shri Ram, Shri Karni Mata, Shri Ek Janti Balaji, Gusain Ji, Hariram Ji, Shri Santoshi Mata, Shivji, Shri Jamuwai Mata] and a mosque [🕌] for the Muslim faith.
