Rohtak Town


¤ The History

Deriving its name from the ancient Rohitaka or Rohtasgarh, Rohtak is mentioned in the Mahabharata.
Apparently Nakula, a Pandava prince, fought the Yaudheyas on this ground. Also, Kartikeya (Lord Shiva’s son) rode around Rohtak on a peacock, so even today you can see the famous ride painted on walls all over the town.
On the other hand it is also named after Raja Rohtas who probably ordered for the city to be built.


¤ Main Attractions

The ruins of the Khokar fort (built by the Khokars) are still there, as are the Dini and Adina masjids. The Jama Masjid in Meham has now been turned into a gurudwara for the Sikhs in true secular fashion. An old, mythical tank called Gaokaran tank is a complex of structures and includes temples of Shiva, Devi and Hanuman in addition to a dharamshala and a park close at hand.

Rohtak also boasts of a medical college and a university. Besides being a district headquarter and one of the largest towns in the state, Rohtak has a huge lake which makes it another tourist spot.
Check out the Bhindawas Lake, home for thousands of birds and officially a wildlife sanctuary since 1985. Spread out over an area of over 1,000 acres, Bhindawas is the largest wetland of Haryana, 80kms from Delhi. The lake covers 12kms of land, which was used for crop cultivation before it was flooded.
