Overview

Ujhana was established around 1500 CE by Bhedis, Chahals, and Ranghars. Gills, Sinhmar (Kaler) migrated at a later date.

It is a well-connected and self-sufficient block, offering essential facilities to its residents, including

Additionally, a public electric power station has been administratively approved.

A key landmark in Ujhana is the seven-story Thaai (Chaupal), built in the 1970s by six neighboring villages: Ambarsar, Dhundua, Koyal, Kurar, Nepewala, and Ujhana. It serves as a meeting place and symbolizes kinship among the surrounding communities.

Ujhana's economy is primarily sustained by agriculture. The Barwala Branch Canal, a sub-branch of the Sirsa branch of Western Yaumna Canal, serves the village, which supplies water from the Sutlej River, supporting its agricultural and other needs. The main temple, Ashan, believed to be around 400 years old, is dedicated to Baba Khak Nath, a saint with ten samadhis in India and the living samadhi is in Nepal.

The indigenous population predominantly comprises the Jat community, with various clans, including Chahal, Gill, Malik, and Sinhmar.
