Ancient Town in Haryana, India. Multiple 5000 year old hamlets, collectively called Rakhigarhi, make up one of the largest Harappan (Indus Valley) civilization sites found outside of Mohenjo-daro. This site is now known to cover 350 hectares.
Excavated remains are now covered over, but the site remains susceptible to looting.
Note: Location provided is for the modern village.
See also Mohenjo-daro, another of the largest city-settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization.
Note: First ancient DNA from Indus Valley civilization links its people to modern South Asians (item from 2019). More on our page.
