As the birthplace of Krishna Karak (founder of bachchan vansi acharya gadi of Kabir Panth), Rosera became a place of pilgrimage for Kabirpanthis.
Rosera with multiple rivers flowing through, is rich in agriculture because of its fertile plain. Tobacco, maize, rice and wheat are the main crops. Leechi and mango fruits are grown in abundance. Sugarcanes are also produced here and sent to Hasanpur chini mill for processing.
Rosera was famous for wooden kamadals used by Hindu sages for keeping water, though the art vanished with the death of the carpenter Jangal Mistree and Gulten Mistree.
