Jind name came up from Jaintapuri and it is also said that this town had been founded at
the time of the Mahabharata. According to an old saying, the Pandavas built the Jayanti Devi
Temple in honour of Jainti Devi (the goddess of victory), offered prayers for success, and then
launched the battle with the Kauravas. The town grew up around the temple and was named
Jaintapuri (Abode of Jainti Devi) which later on came to be known as Jind.
