Origin story

Chandan Hola has a origins narrative rooted in local folklore. The village's origins trace back to an ancestor who hunted a deer in Sultanpur of Haryana, and later sought refuge in Satbari village in Mehrauli.[5]

In response to her wishes, village elders defined the settlement's boundaries, naming it Chandan Hola.
