Bhiwani name comes from goddess Gauri Bhawani, Shiva’s wife, and is also called ‘Little Kashi’ because there are about 300 temples within the town. According to another legend the town is said to have derived its name from a local lady ‘Bhani’. Legend has it that Bhani was the wife of a Jatu Rajput, who saved her husband’s life from treachery. It was after her that the town came to be known as Bhani and later Bhiwani.
