Regionally, Sihor is famous for its hills, their rock pattern, Gautameshwar Mahadev & Lake, Sihor's Festivals, Navnath Pilgrimage (Navnath Yatra) of Shiva Temples, Brahma Kund, 'Sihori Rajwadi Penda' (Peda or chocolate cake), the old town's ascends and descends, its walled city and fort, narrow lanes, Nana Sahib Peshwa and the 1857 revolt, its food and delicacy, Copper-ware & Brass-ware, Pottery, snuff manufacturing factories, Rolling Mills and Industrial Plants.

Known as 'Saraswatpur' during the Mahabharata period and 'Sinhpur', and 'Sinhalpur' after that, locally in Gujarat, it is often regarded as 'Chhote Kashi' (sub-version or model of Kashi - Varanasi - Banaras). This may be due to the numerous temples and Shivalayas in and around this medium-sized town, its religious activities and the resemblance of the town's architecture in particular. The town exhibits a definite texture and architecture through its numerous ancient temples and buildings.
