Nahan is situated atop a hill in the Shiwalik Hills, offering views of the surrounding green landscape. The town is traditionally associated with both saints and royalty. It was founded in 1621 by Raja Karam Prakash. According to another account, a saint named Baba Banwari Das lived at the site along with a companion named Nahar. The word "Nahar" is said to mean "do not kill," and the name Nahan is believed to have originated from an incident in which a saint stopped a king from killing a lion by uttering the word "Nahar." An alternative interpretation suggests that "Nahar" means lion in Sanskrit, and the presence of lions in the area may have influenced the name, which eventually evolved into "Nahan."

Located at an altitude of 932 metres (3,058 feet), Nahan serves as a base for visiting nearby attractions such as Renuka Lake, Paonta Sahib, Trilokpur, and the Suketi Fossil Park.[citation needed] The town features a man-made lake, along with several temples and gardens. Nahan is known for establishing the second Municipal Corporation in India, after Kolkata.[citation needed]

The town is reputed for its well-maintained underground sewerage system and is often regarded as a clean and orderly settlement.[citation needed] Its well-planned streets contribute to smooth traffic flow, and narrow pedestrian pathways are commonly used for quicker movement on foot.[original research?]

The Municipal Corporation office is located near the Pakka Tank. Sirmaur district, in which Nahan is situated, is intersected by numerous rivers and streams, most of which have a perennial flow. As a result, fishing has been a longstanding activity in the region. Common fish species include mulle, mahseer, gid, and mirror carp, which contribute to the local economy.

Sirmaur district was not historically industrially advanced. The first industrial unit in the area was established in 1875 and was later taken over by the government in 1964. The main products of this foundry included cane crushers, cast iron and black sheet panels, flour mills, centrifugal pumps, monoblock pump sets, and other agricultural implements. During British rule, the foundry, located near the Kalisthan Temple, was taken over by the British administration. A building opposite the Nahan Foundry, constructed in 1945 to serve as the residence of the foundry’s general manager, is currently used as the Sessions House and serves as the official residence of the District and Sessions Judge of Nahan.

Suketi Fossil Park

[edit]

Suketi Fossil Park, also known as Shivalik Fossil Park, is located approximately 21 km from Nahan. The park displays life-size fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) models of prehistoric animals whose fossilised skeletons were discovered at the site. It is the first park of its kind in Asia to be developed at the actual location where fossils were found.

The park is situated on the left bank of the Markanda River and can be reached via a 4 km link road from the highway in Haryana. Located in the upper and middle Shiwaliks Hills, which consist mainly of soft sandstone and clay rocks, the park currently features six sets of life-size models representing species such as Stegodon ganesa, Sivatherium, Hexaprotodon sivalensis, Colossochelys atlas, Paramachaerodus, and Crocodilia. These Mesozoic animals once inhabited the region.

On 31 October 2010, a senior lecturer with the Department of Geological Survey discovered an approximately two-and-a-half-foot-long piece of ivory buried in sandy soil at the site. Based on previous carbon dating conducted in the region, the ivory is estimated to be around 150,000 years old.

As a descendant of the rulers of Sirmur, Karam Prakash constructed the initial fort and palace in the town, laying the foundation for its role as a political and administrative center. This move was influenced by strategic considerations, including the site's defensibility amid the Shivalik hills, and marked a pivotal shift in the state's governance. The etymology of "Nahan" traces to the local dialect, where it signifies "a place of perpetual snow," derived from "Nahana," connoting bathing and symbolizing purity and refreshment. Alternative traditions link the name to a legendary incident involving a saint who uttered "Nahar" (meaning "don't kill") to prevent a king from slaying a lion at the site, with the term evolving into Nahan over time. These accounts highlight the spiritual dimensions of the town's origins, intertwining royal initiative with sacred narratives.
