Rakhigarhi, is the Biggest Harappan Civilization Site

March 28, 2014 by AmbitionIAS 2 Comments

  • According to archaeologists, Rakhigarhi (Hisar district) is the biggest Harappan Civilization site.
  • More than 2000 Harappan sites exist in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
  • Up until now, Mohenjo-daro which is situated in Pakistan was considered the biggest site. Archaeological remains in Mohenjo-daro are spread over 300 Hectares.
  • Till now, in the order of size, the biggest Harappan sites were:
    • Mohenjo-daro (around 300 Hec, in Pak),
    • Harappa (Pak),
    • Ganweriwala (Pak),
    • Rakhigarhi (Ind),
    • Dhoavira (Ind).
  • However, recently 2 more mounds were unearthed in Rakhigarhi, which adds to the already present 7 mounds increase the total area to over 350 Hectares, and making it the biggest Harappan Civilization site.

Exams Perspective:

  1. Indus Valley Civilisation
  2. Harappa
  3. Mohenjodaro
