SoorujgurhPostal Covers & Pre-1854 Postal History
Surajgarh (the Soorujgurh of early records) is a town in the Shekhawati region of Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan, a walled market town below an old fort, rich in the painted havelis of its merchant families. It lay on the caravan routes of the Shekhawati tract. In the era of the Company's northern posts it served as a mail town, and its pre-1854 markings record the posts of the Shekhawati country.
