Rakhigarhi site-Ancient Harappa Civilization It is the biggest historical place to visit and can be above or bigger than seven wonders of world, lots of excavation is to be done and it can attract lakhs of lakhs of tourists. Museum is under construction and can be ready after approx 1-2 years A good road with facilities like hotel, restaurants, amusement park, Bank, ATM, Hospital, Police Security, even a halipad for foreign or rich tourists, good public transport, taxi stand, parking facility, Kids play area, lots of things are required and this site can beat any site in the world since Harappa civilization is the oldest civilization with 8000 years of history, oldest even to Mesopotamia, Egyptian civilization and Chinese civilization as per Dhruv Rathi Youtube video.

Amazing Place..... Here we came to know about the centers of harappan civilization. There are various mounds at rakhigarhi village which are excavated and the remains of artifacts can be seen even today. Rakhigarhi is one of the largest site of harappan civilization. I visited only today at rakhigarhi village and I'll suggest that everyone should visit rakhigarhi especially if anyone is a history student . There we came to know about our glorious past of ancient India.

THE Harappan site at Rakhigarhi, which is proving to be the most remarkable window to the life and times of the Indus Valley civilization that flourished over 5,000 years ago or beyond, has revealed Rakhigarhi was the hub of trade and culture. This is evidenced by the discovery of objects that link them to the expertise of local people. The excavations and subsequent study of the findings have unfolded that lapidary (relating to the engraving, cutting, or polishing of stones and gems) was most developed handicraft in this township, considered the centre of a large-scale industrial activity about 5,000 years ago. The ongoing excavation being conducted by the Deccan College Pune and the Haryana Archaeological department have also retrieved a large number of beads from the site. An archaeological survey of India (ASI) report too pointed out that a huge number of stone beads and beads of metal, including gold, indicated that Rakhigarhi was the biggest bead manufacturing and trading centre of the contemporary world. This also shows the social and economic organization of local people. Rakhigarhi has yielded a large collection of beads made of stones, semi-precious stones and even metal like gold. The team of archaeologists found gold beads at the habitation site number 2 besides some beads from the graves where skeletons of humans were retrieved at site number 7. Shish Pal Chalia, assistant conservator, Haryana archaeological department said that stone beads have been recovered from all the Harappan sites. "But the volume of beads at Rakhigarh indicated that this could have been a centre of manufacturing. The raw material was being brought from other parts, including Afganisthan, Baluchistan and even from Gujarat. Advanced handicraft technique of local people was used in shaping these stones in different shapes and sizes for trade purposes," he said. Dr Amarendra Nath, former Director, archaeology, in his report to the ASI submitted in December 2014, on Rakhigarhi excavation wrote: "We found a well-established bead manufacturing factory having thousands of bead rough-outs, waste flakes and cores, tools and implements and bead polishers. All these things were placed on a mud brick floor in a very specific manner. It indicates that the bead makers of Rakhigarhi present an example of highly advanced skill and craftsmanship." The ASI excavation had retrieved 11421 beads in the last 13 years from 1997 from Rakhigarhi. Nath stated that steatite was the most popular material for making beads as almost 80% of the beads are made of this stone. There were also objects made of faience (tin glazed pottery) and semi-precious stones like agate, amozonite, carnelian, chalcedony, jasper, lapis lazuli ivory, bone shells, copper, gold and terracotta.
