Rewari

Rewari is a city and a municipal council in Rewari district in the Indian state of Haryana. It is district headquarter of Rewari district. It is located in south-west Haryana around 82 km from Delhi[7] and 51 km from Gurgaon. It lies in Ahirwal region. During the Mahabharata period in ancient India, a king named Rewat had a daughter named Rewati. The father used to call her Rewa, and founded a village "Rewa Wadi" named after her. Wadi and wada mean a neighbourhood (small and big, respectively) in Hindi and many other Indian languages. When Rewa married Balram, elder brother of Krishna, the king donated the village "Rewa-Wadi" to his daughter. In the course of time, the name Rewa-Wadi became Rewari.[8]
