Dhanana is a village in the eponymous tehsil of the Bhiwani district in the Indian state of Haryana. It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of the district headquarters town of Bhiwani on Bhiwani to Jind Road. This village is directly connected by roads with 9 villages: Talu, Bhaini Bharro, Badesara, Mitathal, Ghuskani, Tigdana, Mandhana, Pur and Siwara. Three neighbouring small villages are also part of Dhanana: Jatai, Sukhpura and Kuchpad. The fields are very far away from the village and so farmers had difficulties in reaching their fields for work so they started living in their own fields, which led to the formation of Jatai, Sukhpura, and Kuchpad villages. The favourite game of the village is handball which makes it special at national level. Village also thrives with a vibrant sports culture, especially in boxing. Home to stars like Nitu Ghanghas and Sakshi Chaudhary, it has produced world-class talent. Nitu’s Commonwealth gold and Sakshi’s youth titles highlight the village’s dedication to the sport, inspiring young athletes daily.
