Kalibangan: A 4,000-Year-Old City of the Indus Valley Civilization.
Kalibangan was located on the banks of the now-dry Ghaggar River in present-day Rajasthan, India. The city flourished roughly between 2600 and 1900 BCE.
Although it is not as famous as Harappa or Mohenjo-daro, Kalibangan stands out for its unique and advanced urban planning. The city was carefully organized, with distinct residential areas and well-planned streets.
One of Kalibangan’s most remarkable features is the discovery of fire altars. These brick platforms are believed to have been used for ritual practices, possibly early forms of Vedic ceremonies such as yajna (ritual offerings), making Kalibangan archaeologically unique among Indus Valley sites.
