Review of Thanagazi Village:

Thanagazi village is located very close to marble quarries and mines. Just about 30-40 km, we have blasting going on in quarries especially in and around Rajgarh tehsil.

Most of the workforce in villages is employed in marble transport and tourism.

Many stone work businesses are located around the village and provide livelihood to inhabitants.

We also have some agricultural activity within the tehsil. Tourism is also popular in Alwar.

Thanagazi is also famous for the big Fort on the hill top”
