Rakhigarhi Indus Valley Civilisation Museum

The Rakhigarhi Museum sits on an expansive site and displays artifacts from one of the oldest settlements in the Indus Valley. The collection includes pottery, tools, and other objects that show how people lived and worked in this ancient civilization.

The site was founded around 5000 years ago and was one of the largest centers of Indus Valley civilization. Archaeological work here has revealed the long history of a sophisticated society.

The museum exhibits DNA findings from human remains, pottery collections, and copper tools that demonstrate the technological capabilities of this ancient civilization.

The site is located in a rural area and requires planned preparation to visit, as facilities are limited in the region. Wear clothing suited to the local climate and plan your visit during cooler months for a more comfortable experience.

Researchers from NASA and ISRO worked with Indian scientists to study this ancient city and uncover its secrets. The site is larger than the more famous Mohenjo-Daro and many areas remain unexplored.
