Kotla is a historic village in Nuh district of Haryana, India. Located 7km south of Nuh city in the scenic Aravalli Hills, Kotla was a stronghold of the Khanzadas of Mewat and seat of power of the Khanzada ruler Bahadur Nahar Khan. Its historical importance came from its strategic position: in a narrow valley with only one pass, and protected on the east by the large Dahar lake, when the lake was filled with water, the only way in was through a narrow strip of land between the lake and the hills.[2]
