The History of Hudeel goes back to 1726. Gajay Singh Shekhawat and Akhay Singh Shekhawat were two brothers who were gifted large areas by their father which in modern day is known as Hudeel and Araksar. Both brothers were royal zamindars - Gajay Singh Shekhawat owned Hudeel & Akhay Singh Shekhawat owned Araksar. The love and bonding between the two brothers made them stay together in Hudeel and thus the small yet beautiful village Hudeel was established.
