The extensive ruins spread over an area with a circumference of 2 km are partly covered by the twin villages of Rakhi Shahpur and Rakhi Khas, the latter popularly called Rakhi Garhi. The main group of mounds, preserved to a maximum height of 17 m, suggests a dichotomous plan of the Harappa pattern \[4.9\]. The lower w. mound reveals signs of a huge mud brick platform on the surface. The higher mound on the e. also pertains to the Harappa age. A smaller mound lying somewhat away from the main site in the n.-w. is characterized by the late SISWAL ceramic complex. - [Previous: v2.c44.162](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.162) - [Next: v2.c44.164](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.164) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) ## Linked texts (2) - [Rākhīgaṛhī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.rakhigarhi) - [Rakhi Shahpur](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.rakhi-shahpur) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.163](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.163) · Pramāṇa
