The very old site, known as Raja Harsh-ka-Tila, is a wide mound
approximately 1 km long and 750 m wide. The height of the mound is about 15 to
18 m from the surrounding area. Excavations here have revealed a sequence of
cultures, which ranges from the Kushana to the Mughal period. A few painted
'Grey Ware' shreds were found in the pre-Kushana levels.
The site was equipped from the Kushana to the Mughal period. The
major discovery of post- Gupta period is represented by brick structures
associated with 'Red Polished Ware'. Structural remains along with antiquities
of the Indo-Islamic period were also exposed, including a Mughal period garden
complex on the Charbagh pattern.
