    राजस्थान के सीकर जिले में खंडेला नगरी का एक महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है । इस नगरी के दो शासक छोटा पाना और बड़ा पाना के नाम से अलग अलग किलों से शासन करते थे ।खंडेला करमेती बाई की जन्म भूमि के साथ बावन बावडियो और कई मन्दिरों की स्थली है। खंडेला को तपोभूमि के नाम से भी खा जावे तो कोई अतिशयोक्ति नही होगी । चामुंडा माता मंदिर यहाँ की पहाडियों के बीच खंडेला की शान है।
