Kotputli is a municipality in Rajasthan, India, located between Jaipur and Delhi. Kotputli was formed from the main town of Kot and the nearby village of Putli.The nearby areas like Patan,Narehda were ruled by Tanwar Rajputs, therefore it is generally called Torawati(Tanwarawati). Initially, both villages belonged to the Marwari business family before they were merged into a single district. Kotputli has many historic temples and schools. It was historically a part of the Khetri Riyasat (now Alwar) kingdom, whose capital was at the nearby village of Bairath during the Mahabharata period.[1]

Kotpuli's economy has blossomed in recent years due to large infrastructure projects. For example, Sardar School and Sardar Zanana Hospital were made by local bodies in conjunction with the Tijoriwala family. Since then, numerous schools and hospitals have been built in Kotputli.[2][3]
