Agroha is an archaeological site. Agroha Temple and Big Hanuman Statue near the fort.
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.
No reason to hate this place , this is a awesome place to visit.
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.
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.
