 Sirsa flows between the main city and the railway station.The old name of Shikohabad was Mohammad Mah (the name still exists as Mohmmad mah near Tahsil and Kotwali) and Shikohabad was named after a famous person of the Mughal era called Dara Shikoh the eldest of brothers of Emperor Aurangzeb.In its present form, the town has hardly any recognizable evidence of that era.
