During the Medieval era, Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq appointed Sonpar Pal, a Jadaun Rajput who converted to Islam and became Raja Nahar Khan, as the ruler of Mewat.

In order to strengthen the economic base of their chiefdom, the Khanzadas put considerable pressure on the ethnic Meos and other tribal communities in the Kala Pahad region to give up their plundering activities and take up cultivation.

By a large-scale deforestation drive, more and more areas were brought under cultivation by the Khanzadas[4] As a consequence of economic developments during the Mughal period, significant social changes occurred among the Meo tribes.

Peasants from 22 villages within the pargana of Kotla manufactured salt using well water and supplied it to nearby qasbas in Haryana and the Ganga-Yamuna Doab.

Mahatma Gandhi intervened, urging Meos to remain in India, and efforts were made to resettle displaced populations.

Nuh is a Muslim majority city The town assumed importance at the time of Bahadur Singh of Ghasera because of the trade in salt manufactured in neighbouring villages.

It can be reached by the Nalhar road from Nuh city through a large ceremonial Hindu religious gate short distance from the temple.

According to the popular oral tradition, Pandavas stayed here, prayed to the god Shiva and drank water from this reservoir during a visit in their 14 years long exile.

He restored it with the help of the local villagers and installed a natural lingam here which has the images of Aum, Shiva, Ganesha, Ganges, Janau and Naga.

The temple is now managed by the Shri Shiv Rudra Jan Kalyan Sanstha headquartered in Mojowal near Nangal Dam.
