context_page_description: Rohtak is a city and the administrative headquarters of the Rohtak district in the Indian state of Haryana. It lies 70 kilometres north-west of New Delhi and 250 kilometres south of the state capital Chandigarh on NH 9. Rohtak forms a part of the National Capital Region, so it can obtain cheap loans for infrastructure development from the NCR Planning Board.
  Rohtak is the sixth most populous city in Haryana as per the 2011 census with population of 374,292.
  Clay mounds of coins discovered at Khokhrakot have thrown light on the process of casting coins in ancient India. The coin moulds of the later Yaudheyas of the 3rd or 4th century AD have been discovered in large number here, along with several clay seals of the same and subsequent dates. A Gupta terracotta plaque and a head of later date have also been discovered. The town continued to flourish till the 10th century AD, as coins of King Samanta Deva of the Hindu Shahi dynasty of Kabul have been found here.
