Gudhagorji

Gudhagorji is one of the ancient towns in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, India. The town is named after Saint Gudheshwar Maharaj, and a very religious and wise "Thukurainji", named Gorji. Today, Gudhagorji is one of the important commercial towns in the Jhunjhunu district. Tourists may visit the town to see old temples and "samadhis" located on the hilltop, or to enjoy tracking on the hill.

Gudhagorji is connected by road, and can be reached by car or bus from Jhunjhunu, Jaipur or Sikar. The town is about 30 km from Jhunjhunu, 50 km from Sikar and 150 km from Jaipur. At present there are no hotels. However, tourists may stay either at Jhunjhunu or Sikar.

Wooden handicraft items such as lampshades, decorative table lamps, etc., from traditional "Kharadis" are sold at the "Kharadiyon ka Mohalla". One can also taste the delicious "pedas", made by the famous "halwais" of the town, and "Kanji ka Bada". Gudhagorji, of late, has also emerged as an educational centre of Sekhawati. In addition to a number of vernacular and English medium schools (including schools following CBSE syllabus), there are four degree colleges in Science, Commerce and Humanities.
