And this is the reason that the region was named after a popular Meena man named Meena. Initially, it was known as "drizzle-ka-nal" for narrow meanings between rugged hills. Large in size and beautiful in size, surrounded by huge Aravali ranges. And Brahmin blue houses lined with jheelos, hills, markets and a temple at every turn.
