It is well-known for its friendly community and authentic representation of Indian culture, which is still alive and well.
#Trivia: It is an approximately 2000-year-old settlement.
History of Rusirani Village
Rusirani village is the village where the 'Pandavas' resided before the 'Mahabharata' war and built several temples (stepwells and palaces) to worship Lord 'Shiva' to get his favor and success in the 'Mahabharata' conflict. These temples are still in ruins today. However, one of the temples is better than the others since it underwent restoration many times.
