History
Fort of Taoru, also called Taoru Fort of Raja Nahar Singh, has chambers and rooms surrounded by high walls. It is presently used as a police station. Taoru Tomb Complex is a walled tomb complex with 7 tombs, 2 of which has been restored by INTACH and Ansal University's Sushant School of Art and Architecture, of Tuglaq, Lodhi and Mughal architecture. It is rare in Delhi NCR region where multiple architectural styles of different eras are found in one complex itself. In 1828, The Imperial Gazetteer of India of the East India Company called this area "Lesser Balochistan", a likely reference to arrival of people from Balochistan during Lodhi era who might have been the rulers of Ferozepur Jhirka (a state which exited at least since Lodhi era which was later abolished by the British Raj in 1858 after the Rebellion of 1857) built these tombs during the successive dynasties. The largest tomb belongs to a Baloch. The complex located on Taoru-Sohna section of NH 919 is only from the Delhi-Jaipur NH48. It is from Gurgaon and from Delhi. In 2025, Haryana government announced a INR 95 crore restoration plan for upgrade of 20 monuments across the state including the Taoru tomb complex.
