Geography & terrain

Rohtak lies in the Rohtak district of Haryana, 70 km from Delhi and 220 km from Chandigarh — the city of the region, its Tilyar lake, the fort and the museum set on the Haryana plain.

History & culture

The city's story runs with the 13th-century fort era — the city of the 13th-century-era fort and the 1980s district-era growth, with the city's modern role as the heritage stop of the Haryana circuit and the home of the 13th-century-era fort ruins and the Tilyar lake and the 1970s-era museum; the city's history of the 1966 Haryana state era and the Maharaja's palace and the lake zoo, gives Rohtak its city character.
