JhoonjhuooPostal Covers & Pre-1854 Postal History
Jhunjhunu (the Jhoonjhuoo of early records) is a city in the Shekhawati region of northern Rajasthan, a walled merchant town famed for its painted havelis on the old caravan routes between the desert and the Ganges plain. It was a trade centre of the Shekhawati tract. In the era of the Company's northern posts it served as a mail town, and its pre-1854 markings trace the posts of the Shekhawati country.
