Jind, city, central Haryana state, northwestern India. It is located about 70 miles (110 km) northwest of Delhi.

Jind is said to have been founded by the Pandavas of the Mahabharata epic, who built a temple around which the town of Jaintapuri (Jind) grew. It was formerly one of the princely Phulkian states of the Punjab that had been established in the 18th century by Sutlej Sikh chieftains. A local grain trade centre, it also possesses cotton-ginning factories. Several colleges are affiliated with Kurukshetra University in Kurukshetra to the northeast.

The surrounding region—with the exception of low outlying hills of the Aravalli Range in the south—is composed of level plains broken only by shifting sand hills. Irrigated by the Sirhind Canal system, the region’s chief crops include grains, gram (chickpeas), and cotton. Jind is on road and rail routes to Delhi, and another rail line connects it eastward to Panipat. Pop. (2001) 135,855; (2011) 167,592.
