Banawali, Archaeological site in Fatehabad, India

The settlement contains fortified walls measuring 105 meters in length, 4.5 meters in height, and 6 meters in width, with distinct residential areas.

Dating from 2500 BCE, Banawali developed through three distinct periods until 1450 BCE, marking different phases of the Indus Valley civilization.

Excavations revealed numerous artifacts including decorated pottery with peacock motifs, animal seals, and clay figurines representing daily life and artistic expressions.

Located 16 kilometers from Fatehabad and 120 kilometers northeast of Kalibangan, the site stands on the former banks of the Sarasvati River.

The settlement used two different brick ratios during construction: earlier structures followed a 3:2:1 ratio, while later buildings adopted a 4:2:1 proportion.
