Etymology

Jind was named Jayantapura after the lord of victory Jayant (Indra), whom Pandavas worshiped before the mahabharata war. According to the oral tradition, Pandavas built the Jayanti Devi Temple in honour of Jainti Devi (the goddess of victory, a feminine representation of Indra). They offered prayers for success, and then launched the battle against Kaurava. The town grew up around the temple and was named Jaintapuri (Abode of Jainti Devi) which later on came to be known as Jind.[1]

Youngest queen of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh and mother of prince Duleep Singh was named Jind Kaur who came from the nearby area.

History

Maharaja Gajpat Singh, a great grandson of Phul Singh, the founder of the Phulkian Misl, established an independent Sikh kingdom by seizing with Sikh armed forces a large tract of country which included the territory occupied by the present district of Jind from the Afghan invader and governor Zain Khan in 1763 and made Jind city, the capital of the state in 1776. He made a fort here in 1775. Later, Sangrur was chosen as capital of Jind State by Raja Sangat Singh (reigned 1822 to 1834). After independence, Jind State was merged with the Indian union and the territory of the present district became part of Sangrur district of Patiala and East Punjab States Union on 15 July 1948.
