'''Roongta''' ({{lang-hi|रूँगटा}}) are the [[Marwaris|Marwari]] [[Agrawal]] community originally belonging to the Town of [[Bagar (India)|Bagar]] (District [[Jhunjhunu]]) in [[Rajasthan]], [[India]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Origin===<br />
Rungtas and Roongtas hail from the villages/towns of Baggar-Mandrella-Pilani, all situated in District of Jhunjhunu(Rajasthan) in Shekhawati Region.<br />
<br />
The name Roongta/ Rungta comes from "raghunathji" who was brother-in-law to "chao sati dadi". Rungtas respect "dadi" as their ''goddess''.<br />
<br />
==Communication==<br />
Before widespread use of the internet, regular newsletters used to be circulated to those who belonged to the Roongta community. This monthly newsletter used to give a wide array of updates to all the Roongtas; including information about education, professional successes and weddings. The idea was to help all the Roongtas stay in touch with each other.<br />
