There is nothing like 'city' in Hindaun City; but why it is called so, is still a controversial issue. Offcourse it needs to be developed; but just by calling Hindaun as 'Hindaun City' is not a solution.

Hindaun is also known for a special delicacy "Moong ki Barfi" (cakes made of pulses, sugar and processed butter).[citation needed] which is unique to Hindaun.
