Stone circles of Junapani, Stone circle archaeological site in Nagpur district, India
The Junapani site contains approximately 150 stone circles constructed with basalt boulders arranged in circular and oblong patterns across the landscape.
Archaeological excavations in 1879 by J. H. Rivett-Carnac revealed numerous iron objects including daggers, axes, horse bits, and bracelets dating from 1000 BC.
The stone circles served as burial grounds where deceased individuals were interred along with funerary objects and painted red pottery with black linear designs.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains and protects the site, which extends across multiple acres and contains preserved megalithic structures from the Iron Age.
Twenty circles feature cup marks with orthogonal sequences and parallel lines, potentially indicating astronomical alignments and ancient observation practices.
