Agroha region came under influence of Jainism during Acharya Bhadrabahu. Rohtak was an important Jain center as Lord Mahavira paid many visits to this district. Ancient Tirthankara idols and Jain temples were also found in the vicinity of Khokhra-kot, belonging to Rajput-era.[4]

Hansi hoard is a hoard of 58 bronze images of Jain Tirthankaras dating back to the 8th—-9th century excavated from Asigarh Fort in Hansi in Hisar district.[5][6]
