Hanumangarh, city, northern Rajasthan state, northwestern India. It lies on the right bank of the Ghaggar River about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Ganganagar.

Previously called Bhatner (“The Fortress of the Bhatti Rajputs”), it became Hanumangarh in 1805 when it was annexed by the princely state of Bikaner. The city with its fort was taken by the Mongol conqueror Timur (Tamerlane) in 1398. It subsequently changed hands several times.

Hanumangarh is connected by rail with Ganganagar and with Bikaner and Jodhpur to the south. The city is an agricultural market centre where cotton and wool are woven on hand looms. It has several colleges affiliated with the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur. Pop. (2001) 129,556; (2011) 150,958.
