| Article Name : | | | HANSI-A HISTORICAL TOWN (A BRIEF HISTORY OF HANSI REGION-EARLIEST TIMES TO 12TH C. A.D.) | | Author Name : | | | Ajay Kumar | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-5124 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Hansi is the tehsil headquarter of Hisar district in Haryana. It is situated in 290 06' north latitude and 760 58' east longitudes at a distance of about 26 kms. East of Hisar and 138 kms. West of Delhi, on Delhi- Sirsa National Highway. The tehsil has been further divided into two blocks, i.e. Hansi-1 and Hansi- 2. Both, the tehsil and the blocks derive their names from the headquarter town Hansi. The nomenclature of Hansi has been variously explained in local traditions. A tradition still prevalent among the people of the town ascribes that at the time of construction of the fort of Hansi, its wall collapsed again and again. An astronomer was consulted who advised human sacrifice. A man from nearby village Pali, named Assa, offered himself for the purpose. | | Keywords : | | |
