The beautiful city of Palwal is not only famous for its industries but is also a part of India's rich mythological history.
It is believed that the city got its name from a demon, "Palwasur" who ruled this place during the reign of Pandavas. He was killed by Balrama, the elder brother of Lord Krishna. Even today, the city celebrates "Baldev Chhat Ka Mela" with a lot of enthusiasm. Palwal is also the place where Mahatma Gandhi was arrested for the first time. A historical building "Gandhi Ashram" was made in the memory of Mahatma Gandhi.
