These are shallow brick domes built with a unique technique practiced by a team of masons in Rohtak, Haryana. Domes are almost flat, so flat that the curve is hardly noticeable.
The construction of Rohtak domes relies on a specialized team of artisans, led by Azad Singh, who inherited the technique from Krishan Singh. Krishan Singh, in turn, received it from Rishi Dilip Lal Birju of Kathal Gam, thus turning it into a family tradition. This craftsmanship has been refined over a period of 40 years.
The origin of the name "Rohtak Dome" dates back to 2018 when the acclaimed architect Mr. Surya Kakani learned about these structures through a friend in Delhi. Collaborating with Azad Singh and his team at CEPT University, Ahmedabad, Mr. Kakani christened these unique domes as "Rohtak Domes" during the project’s development.
