Jharsa is a village in Gurugram (city and tehsil) of Haryana State, India. It has a population of about 32,709; it is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the Gurugram city centre and 254 kilometres (158 mi) from the state's main city, Chandigarh.[1] It is surrounded by Mohyal Colony, Patel Nagar, Kirti Nagar, Sectors 15, 31, 32, 39, 40, 46, and Indra Colony.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of Jharsa dates back to medieval times. During the mughal and British colonial era, Jharsa was a paragana in Delhi subah, and Gurgaon was just a small village. The Report of a Tour in Eastern Rajputana in 1882-83,[2] published in 1885 by Alexander Cunningham (the then Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India), mentions a stone pillar at Gurgaon of a local feudal lord "Durgga Naga" with the 3-line inscription "Samvat 729 or 928, Vaisakh badi 4, Durgga Naga lokatari bhuta", dating back to 672 or 871 AD. The paragana of Badshahpur-Jharsa was ruled by Begum Samru (b.1753 – d.1836), who built a palace for herself between Badshahpur and Jharsa.[3] Jharsa was the place of Samru's principal cantonment.[4] She built palaces at Sardhana, Chandni Chowk in Delhi and Jharsa; parts of her fort compound have been completely lost to encroachments.
Jharsa was taken over by the British in 1836 after Samru's death; they established a civil line at Jharsa, and a cavalry cantonment at nearby Hiyadatpur.[5]
A palace building located between Gurgaon and Jharsa village was used as the official residence and camp office of the district collector of Gurugram district. Built in Islamic style, the ruins of this palace survived till about 2008 in Gurgaon.[6]
Major Jean Etienne's tomb (also known as the "French Memorial of Jharsa") is the tomb of a Bordelais soldier in Begum Samru's army, presently located in a park at Mohyal colony in Jharsa of Sector-40 of Gurugram.[4][7][8] Etienne, born in 1746, served Begum Samru from 1786 until his death on 5 June 1821.[4] A restoration project for the tomb, to be undertaken by INTACH, was approved by the government in 2018.[8]
An idol of Sitla Mata in Gurugram, according to an 1882 land revenue settlement report, was brought there 400 years earlier (in the 15th century). Begum Samru claimed the offerings from the Sitla Mata temple of Gurugram during the Chaitra month, and the revenue from the offerings given to the deity during other months was distributed among prominent Jat zamindars of the area.[5] In 1818, Bharawas district was disbanded and Gurugram was made a new district, and in 1821, the Bharaswas cantonment was also moved to Hidayatpur in Gurugram.[9]
