Ancient Village or Settlement in India

Kanmer, Rapar taluka, Kutch, Gujarat, India

On the Western merges of The Little Rann of Kutch, a small village with ancient history.
I've been stying at an archaeological excavation camp near by, I joined an expedition of Udaipur university headed by Dr. J.S. Kharakwal excavating a mound which belongs to the Hindus Vally civilisation.
The village is in a remote area and it preserved old traditions, cult, traditional wear and religion.
Many temples and shrines for the village goddess and other deities, Sati and hero stones.
The villagers maintain primitive cultivation of fields and trashing with oxes.
They greet each other with 'Jai Mata Ji' (greetings to the goddess).

    Hi,

    I just saw this blog and was interested to know the age of the hero stones depicted among various photos. On one I thought I recognised Gujarati writing in modern script, so obviously they cannot be very old.

    Regards

    Chandra
