Bhadra is a city and a municipality in Hanumangarh district in the state of Rajasthan, India. The railway station name is Tehsil Bhadra. Bhadra in colloquial Marwari (a dialect of Hindi) means "The City of Grace". This name comes from the river Raslana Vithrika bhadra. Bhadra was founded by Bhadrak Community on the sangam of Varshvati and Swarnabhadra rivers which was a Janpad/Gantantra.
