Hatni kund in district yamunanagar

Hathni Kund is in yamunangar district of haryana. It is built on a raised plinth overlooking the Yamuna. it is every close to the tajewala barrage where yamuna is split into the eastern and western yamuna canals.

The earlier name of yamunanagar was Abdulahpur. Pre-independence, it was a small village with population concentrated around its Railway Station. After partition of India, many refugees from Punjab in Pakistan chose to make Yamunanagar their new home, and in the process adding to the culture of the town. The area where land was allocated to the refugees later developed into the model town area of Yamunanagar.
