History
The village estate of Nangal-Sirohi was founded and owned primarily by Yaduvanshi Ahirs of Khosya gotra whose ancestors came from the neighbouring Deroli village.
It is said about 400 years ago there was a person in Daroli village whose name was Dropaal. He exercised considerable influence over his clan. Sirohi was then owned by Gujjars who were notorious in the sense that they hardly ever paid revenue to the Mughal Nazim at Narnaul. Whenever the revenue officers descended upon them to collect revenue perforce, they fled into the nearby forests. When the trouble continued to persist, the Mughal authority at Delhi empowered Dropaal to occupy the estate vacated by the Gujjars on one such occasion.

Nangal Sirohi has been home to some of the very successful people, Founder of Major Indian Industrial house Modi Group of Industries was related to this place.

There are still about 500 families of Ahirs living in the village followed by 100 families of Baniyas, 80 families of Brahmins, 20 families of Kumhaars i.e., potters, 10 families of weavers, 10 families of barbers, 35 families of masons and carpenters, 2 families of Darzi(Chhipi) and, lastly, 10 families of Jogis.
Haveli architecture
Nangal Sirohi, 9 km from Narunail and 16 km from Mahindragarh, is famous for its historic havelis built by baniyas who had migrated from Satnali 8 generations ago.[1] This area which was earlier under the Jaipur state, came under the Sindhu Jat ruler Maharaja of Patiala.[1] Lala Tek Chand was first among them to build the fortalice haveli.[1] Later in Vikram Samvat 1959 (1902 CE), Lala Deen Dayal built an ornately decorated Caravanserai in shekhavati rajput architecture.[1]
The older Part of the village called oopla baas (upper residence) is full of splendid havelis built by local trading communities in 18th and 19th century. These were built by Chejaraas (masons) and Chiteyraas (painters) summoned from Shekhawati region of the erstwhile Jaipur State of Rajpootana, who painted the images of Shekhawati Sirdars and events from the native feudal life. In one of the haveli there are paintings depicting Shekhawati Sirdaars, while in the vault of the haveli other the expert painters have depicted scenes from the Ramayana and did some excellent work on the gods of the Hindu pantheon. In fact, the colour pigments in the wall paintings of the later haveli vault have been remarkably preserved for more than 90 years now and look fresh.[1]
Though not many of them are in best of their condition as they are facing neglect due to migration of their owners to greener pastures. Few of them are aware of the artistic splendor on the walls and their academic significance. Although most of them recognize their cultural significance but none is aware about the necessity of their conservation or documentation by scholars. But due to lack of moisture and pollution in the region these were in fairly good shape and appears inviting to an observer.[1]
