nice historical place , sight seeing, but take care of weather Agroha remained an important centre of commerce and political activity till the period of Feroze Shah Tughluq as it was situated on the ancient trade route between Taxila and Mathura. Earlier excavations proved the potentiality of the site and its ancient name 'Agrodaka', headquarters of a Janapada. The Agroha mound goes back to the 3rd century BC and is where Harappan coins were discovered apart from stone sculptures, terracotta seals, iron and copper implements, shells and a host of other things. Recent excavations have yielded five cultural periods ranging from circa fourth century to fourteenth century AD. The excavations have also revealed two ancient shrines namely a Buddhist stupa and a Hindu temple.

A lesser known site with abundance of potential and material remains. Dating back to 3rd Century B.C.E. this site has a continuous cultural sequence. Buddhist stupa and vihara is the main attraction. Apart from that, beads and pottery remains of kushana period is important.

I visited this place recently and found it very interesting. Knowing the facts that this place has history of more than 5000 years. Worth visiting with young kids. Picturesque view.

Very good place built on ancient site it is said to be by locals more than 3000 years old

Not picnic spot but yeah it's good for those who don't like crowd , feels good to spend some time there ......

The city of Agroha was situated on the ancient trade route between Taxila and Mathura. And, therefore, it remained an important center of commerce and political activities till a new township of Hisar-e-Firoza (Hissar) of Firoz Shah Tughluq came into existence. A hoard of 4 Indo Greek, one punch marked coins and fifty one coins of Agodaka were found from the site. The discovery of the coins of Agreya Janpada (Republic) during excavations and its ancient name Agodaka in Literature are sufficient to prove its being the headquarters of republic. This site was excavated by C. J. Rodgers in 1888-89 and re-excavated by H. L Srivastava in 1938-39 of Archaeological at survey of India to a depth of about 3.65m. This site was further excavated by Shri P.K. Sharan and Shri J.S. Khatri of the Department of Archaeology & Museums, Government of Haryana in 1978-84.

ancient place .more than 5000 years old

Shows the Majestic designing and planning done by ancients for Buddhism. Although not much is left still it has a good flavour of the thought left.

Very good place but must visit in group only as the location is remote.

During the last 20 years Agroha Vikas Trust has done a lot of development of this Holy town, and a modern lodging and boarding facility is now available. A number of temples have been constructed in the Complex, including the Sheetla mata temple andHanumantemple.....

Nice place
