  • Chandigarh June 22: Haryana Government has decided to take five monuments in district Nuh under State protection for their conservation as per the provisions of Punjab Ancient Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1964.

  • The Ghasera Fort lies at Ghasera village, 14 kilometres from Nuh city on Nuh-Sohna road that was ruled by Bahadur Singh Bargujar, a Rajput chief of 11 villages. He was killed in 1753 by the famous Jat king Surajmal of Bharatpur State after Jats besieged and ran over the Ghasera fort, after which Jats turned to Delhi by defeating Mughal king Ahmad Shah Bahadur and occupied the Red Fort there in 1754 CE. Ruined walls and a grand entrance show that Ghasera was a historical village. It was build by Stones and lakhouri bricks with lime surkhi mortar.
  • The Old Tehsil Building is located in main road of Nuh. In 1861, the District of Gurgaon was re-arranged into five tehsils namely Gurgaon, Firozpur Jhirkha, Nuh, Palwal and Rewari. Thereafter, in 1872-73, the building of the Tehsil Nuh was constructed by the then British Government over the land measuring 14 Kanal 8 Marla situated within the revenue estate of Nuh and this building is a rich part of the Heritage of Mewat. It is the witness of the then history. This is single storied brick built building comprises 30 rooms.
  • The Kotla Mosque is 6.5 kilometers from Nuh city in the Kotla village. The red sandstone and Grey quartzite tomb has inscription on the ruined gateway, dating it to 1392- 1400 CE. The mosque is a square structure on raised platform. The surface of the exterior is simple and the interior is curved with red sandstone and the openings with jaalis.
  • There are two chhatris and a kuan (well). Meoli village is located in Nuh Tehsil of Mewat district. It is situated seven kilometers away from sub­ district headquarter Nuh and 7 kilometers away from district headquarter Mewat at Nuh. The ancestral villages of the Deharwal Meos were at Meoli which was colonised by Mewa Singh. Mewa Singh was the head of fifty-two Khorei (settlements) in the Kala Pahad. The term Dehrawal was derived from Dehar which comprised the low lying area near the Kotla Lake in the Nuh region.
  • Fairly old and small village had these remains which were built in an architectural style of the medieval era. The construction material, depth and diameter of the well cylinder, its location and the style adopted for its superstructure obviously depended on the nature of the soil and terrain, the amount of average rainfall, purpose of location and availability of masonry expertise. Main purpose was required water to be lifted.
