The pond is known as Piparni Nadi or Pipaly Nadi and is regularly replenished with rainwater, so it became a resting point on the this route that was connected two principary Shekhawati and Marwar. Evidence shows that when traders, the army, 'banjare' or others persons traveled from this way, it means they always crossed the borders of two principary states Marwar and Shekhawati. They rested and took shelter here because they always found sweet and clean water for drinking for themselves and their animals, so it soon became called Meethari.
