Jiliya is a place in Nagaur District of Rajasthan, India.

History

During British rule in India, Jiliya, Abhaypura or Maroth (alternative names of the same principality) was a Thikana under the erstwhile Princely State of Jodhpur. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} As per Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, the paintings of the Man Mandir Temple of Maroth, Rajasthan best depict the art form of the 17th Century Rajputana. ^{[5] [6]}

A volunteer program known as the Jiliya Project, run by the Sankalp Volunteer Society NGO, is active in the region as Nagaur is one of the economically underdeveloped districts of the state. Being a desert area, it also suffers from a lack of water which makes the situation even worse for agricultural activities. ^[7]
