History
During the second half of the eighteenth century, the prosperous merchant families of the Ruias and the Poddars jointly developed the city of Ramgarh Shekhawati also known as Ramgarh Sethan (Sethon wala Ramgarh).
The Poddars, a family of wool traders from Churu, were the first to establish a settlement there. They had been subjected to heavy taxes by the thakurs of Churu and, in protest, sought to build a more affluent city. The king of Sikar allotted them land for this purpose. The Poddars then built numerous havelis, covered them with imported German paint that have retained their luster for over 230 years.
Later, the Ruias, another wealthy merchant family, arrived. They had been forced from their hometown of Fatehpur after a dispute with the Nawab over trade levies. They joined the Poddars in developing the city.
