Bhilwara
It is not on the record as how the name of Bhilwara was ascribed to the which
now forms the district Bhilwara. Tradition has it that it came to be known as
bhilwara because it was mostly inhabited by Bhils in old days. These Bhils were
eventually driven away towards the hilly tracts and interior places of less
importance by the ancestors of the peasant settlers. Ironically enough ,now
very few Bhils live in this area. Another version recounts that the present
bhilwara city had a mint where coins known as 'BHILADI' were minted and from
this denomination was derived the name of the district. Over the years it has
emerged out as the TEXTILE CITY of Rajasthan. Now a days ,Bhilwara is better
known as the textile city in the country.
