Rakhigarhi

Rakhigarhi, or Rakhi Garhi (Rakhi Shahpur + Rakhi Khas), is a village in Hisar District in the northwest Indian state of Haryana, around 150 kilometers from Delhi. In 1963 archeologists discovered that the village was the site of an extensive city, part of the Indus Valley Civilization and also part of early Harappan settlements. It is situated on dry bed of river Sarasvati, which once flowed here and believed to be dried up by 2000 BC.
