Rakhigarhi or Rakhi Garhi is a village and an archaeological site belonging to the Indus Valley civilisation in Hisar District of the northern Indian state of Haryana, situated about 150 km northwest of Delhi. It was part of the mature phase of the Indus Valley Civilisation, dating to 2600-1900 BCE. It was among the largest settlements of the ancient civilisation, though most of it remains unexavated. The site is located in the Ghaggar-Hakra River plain, some 27 km from the seasonal Ghaggar river. Most scholars believe it to be between 80 hectares and 100+ hectares in area. Some Indian archaeologists, however, have claimed that the earliest settlements in Rakhigarhi predate the Indus Valley Civilization, and the site itself is 300 hectares in size. Only 5% of the site has been excavated; much of the area is yet to be excavated and published. Another related excavation sites in the area are Mitathal and the smaller site Lohari Ragho, which are still awaiting excavation.
