The village is located on a land which is slightly higher in altitude than its surroundings, the slope being sharper to the east, the altitude gradually declining for about 5 or 6 kilometres to reach the Gerua river, a tributary to the Ganges. In the west, chaur land is there, which has a lower altitude than the village has.

There was a Hindi poem titled "Hey Taá¹Âar" (that appeared in the Taá¹Âar High School Magazine in the 1960s) written by Shri Moti Singh (alias Mathilisharan Nehnidhi), who was a teacher in Taá¹Âar High School, which mentioned that the name "Tarar" came from "TÃÂnd", which means an upland. Since an upland was occupied by the people to inhabit, it was named TÃÂndar wherefrom the name Taá¹Âar came forth (" ... TÃÂnd bhà «mi ÃÂbÃÂd huyi. TÃÂrar iskànÃÂm pad gayàparibhÃÂsàyun yÃÂd huyi".
