Khirasara, Archaeological site in Nakhatrana Taluka, India
Situated on the bank of the Khari River, Khirasara features large fortification walls measuring 300 square meters and residential structures containing rectangular interconnected rooms.
Archaeological excavations in 2009 revealed evidence of a settlement dating from 2600 to 2200 BCE, functioning as an industrial center during the Mature Harappan period.
The site contains numerous artifacts including perforated pottery, seals displayed at Kutch Museum, and bone pots that indicate specific funeral practices of ancient inhabitants.
Located 85 kilometers from Bhuj city, the site requires advance planning for visits and benefits from guidance by local archaeological experts for comprehensive exploration.
Researchers discovered a survey instrument similar to a modern prismatic compass at the site, known locally as Gadh-vali vadi, indicating advanced technological capabilities.
