Rohtak is a district in the Indian state of Haryana. Traditionally, it is named after Raja Rohtash in whose day's city is said to have been built. It is also claimed that the town derives its name from the Roherra (Tacoma undulate) tree called Rohitaka in Sanskrit. It is said that before the town came into existence, it was the site of a forest of Rohitaka trees and hence its name became Rohtak.
The city can feel proud for having one of the highest numbers of dairies in India and Asia's largest cloth market. The Rewri and Gajjak (both Indian Sweet) of Rohtak are famous all over India as well as many places abroad.
