Mahendragarh is a city and a municipal committee in Mahendragarh district in the Indian state of Haryana. It is nearly from Gurgaon and comes under National Capital Region (India).
==Etymology == Earlier Mahendragarh was known as Kanaud because it was founded and inhabited by Kanaudia Brahmins. In the 1860s it was renamed after Maharaja Mahendra Singh (r. 1721-1748 CE) of Patiala State who was gifted this area by the British East India Company for his help in crushing the Indian Rebellion of 1857 in this area.
