Ratannagar (Heritage city) is a city, near Churu city, and a municipality in Churu district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Ratannagar is a small town in the Churu District in the State of Rajasthan, India. It is situated about 8 kilometers south of Churu and has a population of approximately 14,000 people. It is located on the Jaipur road and is famous for its havelis (private mansions). In 1982, Director J.P. Dutta made a motion picture in the village entitled "Gulami", starring Dharmendra, Mithun, Nasirudin Shah, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Smita Patil, Anita Raj and Rina Rai. The main reason the small town was used for the month-long shooting was the noted havelis.
Ratannagar was built by Shah Nand Ram Kedia and Hirawat Family as they moved from shekhwati after some scuffle between them and the then sekhwati rulers.The maharaja of bikaner sri Ganga singhji agreed to provide the land on request by them but he put a condition that the new town to be developed by the Kedia's should be named after his son Sri Ratan singh ji.Hence Ratannagar was built in the style of Jaipur. It is known for its street layout and distinctive scenery.
