This huge gate presents a beautiful example of Sultanate architecture. Out of the five gates of walled ancient city of Hansi, this is the only one that survives as an ancient structure. It is a pointed arch gate. Subsequently, it was repaired in 1522 AD during the rule of Ibrahim Lodhi. This gateway, served in the ancient times as the main entrance to Hansi, is over 30 metres high.
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.
nother place that bears a connection with the great epic Mahabharata, this is the place where it is believed that Pitamaha Bhishma lay watching the famous battle after Arjun, created a bed of arrows for him.
There is a legend attached to this water tank. It says that, when Bhishma lay on his bed of arrows, he felt thirsty and asked for water. To fulfil his desire, Arjuna immediately shot an arrow into the ground and let loose a stream of gushing water. This is how the Bhishma Kund is believed to come into existence.
This spacious building, built by Ray-i-Rayan Mukand Dass, the Diwan of Narnaul, during the reign of emperor Shah Jahan (1628-58 A.D.) is dexterously planned and embellished, though its exterior is unostentatious and drab. It is a five-storied structure with several halls, rooms and pavilions. The extensive open terrace on the south, elliptical pavillions on different levels, halls on pillars and running verandah around a central court, once adorned with a marble fountain, impart spaciousness and light to it. The profuse use of marble for veneering, pillars and brackets, provided with artificial cataracts and drains, make it a cosy retreat during the tropical summers.
In the south-eastern corner on the terrace, there is a dilapidated well, from which the water was raised into reservoirs, at various levels. An exquisite and isolated gateway-complex, well provided with projecting balconies and marble veneering stand a few metres to the west of the palace. This is said to have been the main entrance to the complex.
It said that Akbar and Birbal visited this town and that is why this structure Chhatta Rai Mukand Das is also popularly known as Chhatta of Birbal.
