It shares its boundaries with the state of Haryana and Punjab; while on the other sides are the towns of Churu and Sriganganagar.Hanumangarh has a rich heritage and culture, which dates back to the Indus Valley civilization, proven recently by the extensive archeological excavations. Various artifacts found in the excavations are exhibited in the National Museum in Delhi and Kalibanga Museum in Hanumangarh.Tracing back the history of the town, Hanumanagarh or Bhatner was originally the vast kingdom of the Bhati Rajput dynasty. Later, King Shardul Singh annexed it and renamed it Shardulgarh but as it was on a Tuesday, the place was known as Hanumangarh, after the Hindu Monkey God, Hanuman.
