Street in Narnaul, Haryana (November 2016)

Narnaul is a small city (population of around 62,000) in the South West of the Indian State of Haryana. It's close to the Rajasthan border and already part of the Thar desert.

While the city has some regional importance with respect to trade, traffic and public administration it is mostly known for a battle in the course of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the authority of the British East India Company (which at that time represented the interests of the British Empire in India).

Although it is reported that the Indian rebels fought bravely at the end of the day they lost against the better equipped British Army. 70 British soldiers (including the commanding officer) and an unknown - but probably higher - number of rebels lost their lives.
