Asigarh Fort, also known as Hansi Fort, is situated on the eastern bank of the Amti Lake in Hansi city, Haryana, approximately 135 km from Delhi along National Highway 9 (NH9). Covering an area of around 30 acres, the fort once held strategic command over 80 surrounding forts during its peak. Renowned as one of the most formidable forts in ancient India, it was designated a centrally protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in 1937.
Bhirrana (also spelled Bhirdana or Birhana, IAST: Bhirḍāna) is an important archaeological site located in a small village in the Fatehabad district of Haryana, northern India. Excavations at Bhirrana revealed charcoal samples from its earliest layers, some dating back to the 8th–7th millennium BCE, making them older than the Indus Valley Civilization. Interestingly, these samples were found alongside Hakra Ware pottery, which is typically dated to the 4th millennium BCE at other sites. Additional charcoal remains from early layers have been dated to 3200–2600 BCE, and discoveries of smelted copper artefacts point to a Chalcolithic rather than Neolithic cultural phase.
The site lies along the seasonal Ghaggar River, which Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) experts identify as the post-Indus Valley Civilisation course of the Rigvedic Saraswati River, dated to around 1500 BCE.
Madhogarh Fort is perched atop Madhogarh Hill, part of the Aravalli mountain range, near the village of Madhogarh in Mahendragarh district, Haryana, India. The fort is situated approximately 12 kilometers from Satnali Chowk in Mahendragarh, along State Highway 27 (Mahendragarh–Satnali–Loharu route).
The nearby Madhogarh village also attracts visitors with its collection of historic havelis, showcasing vernacular Hindu architecture influenced by the ornate Shekhawati style, making it a site of both architectural and cultural interest.
Rakhigarhi (also spelled Rakhi Garhi) is a village and prominent archaeological site located in the Hisar district of Haryana, northern India, approximately 150 kilometers northwest of Delhi. Situated on the Ghaggar River plain, about 27 kilometers from the seasonal Ghaggar River, Rakhigarhi is one of the most significant sites of the Indus Valley Civilisation. It exhibits evidence of continuous settlement across the pre-Harappan period (circa 6000?/4600–3300 BCE), the early Harappan phase (3300–2600 BCE), and the mature Harappan phase (2600–1900 BCE).
