Archaeological Site Museum, Kalibangan

The Archaeological Site Museum at Kalibangan was established in 1983 by the Archaeological Survey of India to house and display antiquities recovered from excavations carried out at the adjoining Kalibangan mound between 1961 and 1969. Kalibangan, on the southern bank of the now-dry Ghaggar river in Hanumangarh district, is one of the most important excavated sites of the Indus Valley (Harappan) Civilization, notable for evidence of a pre-Harappan settlement layer beneath the mature Harappan town.

The museum's collection is arranged across three galleries: one devoted to Pre-Harappan period objects and two to Harappan-period pottery, seals, terracotta figurines, beads, and other antiquities recovered from the excavation. The site itself, adjacent to the museum, preserves the excavated remains of the ancient town, including its distinctive fire-altars and evidence of the world's earliest known ploughed agricultural field.

Together, the museum and the excavated mound form one of the key reference points for understanding the eastern extent of the Indus Valley Civilization in India.
