Booking Information/Reservation

Kalibangan Archaeological Museum

This pre-historic town is located 205 Km from Bikaner, but the journey is worth making.
Literally meaning 'black bangles' it got its name from the myraid pieces of terracotta bangles excavated here.


¤ An Archaeological Site

The site is amazingly as old as great Indus valley cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. The architecture and design is also fairly similar. Archaeological research makes it self-evident that the city, when extant, was extremely modern and urbane. You realise the extraordinary skills of the artisans, when you see the central acropolis around which the town is built. It is not unlike Parthenon, the acropolis around which the city of Athens was constructed – and that is not an exaggeration.

The fine system of streets that intersected at right angles, and the advanced drainage system was not dissimilar to the twin cities of Harappa and Mohenjodaro. The houses were similarly made of baked bricks and the bathrooms had water pipes and taps. The only amenity missing was the ‘great bath’ which Mohenjodaro had for communal bathing. Kalibangan can almost rival the great cities of the ancient world, and indicates how far back the history of Rajasthan goes. Subsequent excavations nearby have unearthed relics of an even more ancient culture, simply dubbed as Pre-Harappan, which goes back 5000 years. A must-see for archaeology enthusiasts.
