Sai
Mandir
Medieval
Times
A
centuries-old
fort
was
situated
at
Rohtak,
in
present-day
Qilla
Mohallah.
That
fort
was
built
by
Sheikhs
of
Yemen
under
Qazi
Sultan
Muhammad
Surkh
Zulqarni
during
Ghauri
Dynasty
kings.
The
then
Delhi
emperor
Mahmud
Tughlaq
posted
two
brothers,
Malik
Idrees
and
Mubariz
Khan
at
that
fort
in
1400.
The
fort
of
Rohtak
was
besieged
by
Syed
Khizer
Khan
in
1410
which
could
only
succeed
after
a
long
seizure
lasting
six
months.[37]
British
period
(1800-1947)
Rohtak
is
among
the
oldest
organised
districts
of
Haryana;
the
British
officers
used
to
reside
here
since
1810.
Those
British
constructed
a
Church
at
Rohtak,
which
was
completed
in
1867.
It
was
named
as
All
Saints
Church.
Its
central
hall
was
built
by
Maj.
Feindala
in
the
memory
of
his
daughter
Athel
Nora,
while
the
contribution
for
woodwork
was
given
by
JF
Bruster
and
RF
Kalenal.[37]
There
are
some
tombstones,
having
dated
inscriptions
in
the
graveyard
near
mini
secretariat
building
of
Rohtak.
Previously
it
was
said
to
be
surrounded
by
a
garden,
but
now
only
a
narrow
strip
of
land
is
left
for
this
cemetery.
It
has
some
180-year-old
historic
tombstones,
including
one
identified
to
be
that
of
DC
Moore.
This
centuries
old
cemetery
is
currently
in
a
deserted
condition
and
a
thick
thorny
vegetation
growth
has
covered
the
tombs
stones
there.[37]
