Baror, Archaeological site in Sri Ganganagar district, Rajasthan, India.

Baror covers approximately 200 meters by 150 meters and rises about 11 meters above the surrounding plain near the Pakistan border.

Italian Indologist Luigi Pio Tessitori first discovered Baror in 1916-17, later surveyed by archaeologist Amlanand Ghosh after India's independence.

Excavations uncovered terracotta figurines, shell bangles, faience ornaments, and a skeleton adorned with jewelry indicating complex social practices of ancient inhabitants.

The site is accessible for archaeological research and exploration throughout the year, located about 13 kilometers northeast of Anupgarh town.

Archaeologists discovered a remarkable pitcher filled with approximately 8,000 pearls, demonstrating advanced craftsmanship and extensive trade networks of the Indus Valley civilization.
