Chor Gumbad — Attraction in Haryana

Chor Gumbad: A Historic Gem with Room for Improvement

Chor Gumbad in Narnaul, Mahendergarh District, is an architectural marvel that transports you back to the 14th century. Perched on a hillock in the Jamalpur area along Singhana Road, this majestic monument offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, dating back to the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1351-88 AD). Constructed by Afghan Jamal Khan, it stands as a significant landmark of Narnaul, showcasing an impressive square structure with four minarets and a veranda that creates the illusion of a double-storied building.

The Chor Gumbad, once possibly a hideout for thieves, is now a well-planned monument that exudes historical charm and grandeur. Its low dome and intricate arches are a testament to the architectural brilliance of the era. The surrounding park, developed by the district administration, adds to the appeal, making it a perfect spot for history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

However, the beauty of Chor Gumbad is somewhat marred by the lack of regular maintenance. The park area is often littered with garbage, which detracts from the overall experience. It is crucial for the Haryana Government to ensure proper upkeep of this historic site, as its significance deserves to be preserved in a pristine condition.

Chor gumbad has a historical importance for narnual. It is said that the same was used by chor i.e. thief to escape through its caves made under ground. It is said that these caves spread across the India even to delhi. But unfortunately they can't let you go inside as it is very dangerous because of two reason- 1. It is very old structure and may collapse. 2. It is said that in those caves a ghost lives whoever goes there never returns😂. Believe whatever you want but in the end you can't go inside. However it's a nice place to visit, landscaping near it gives a place to sit and relax for an hour or two. It is located in Subhash park it got it's name by the statue of Sh. Subhash Chandra Bose standing in the centre of the park, good thing anyone can go there! I hope you like the review, if yes plz hit the like button and...
