Raja Harsh ka Tila, Archaeological mound in Thanesar, Kurukshetra district, India.

Raja Harsh ka Tila extends across a vast area measuring one kilometer in length, 750 meters in width, and reaches a height of 23 meters.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed continuous human settlement from the first century CE through the nineteenth century, with evidence of Vedic period settlements.

The excavated artifacts include Kushan red pottery, terracotta seals with Brahmi inscriptions, copper coins, and bone artifacts that indicate advanced trading networks.

The archaeological site sits adjacent to Sheikh Chilli's Tomb and remains open for visitors interested in examining the ancient settlement layers.

The mound contains six distinct cultural periods, from which researchers recovered Chinese porcelain fragments indicating international trade connections during the Mughal era.
