The major archaeological sites of Kurukshetra District include Raja Karana Ka Tila, Bhor Saidan, Asthipura, Bhagwanpura and more. Details of these sites are mentioned below -

Raja Karana Ka Tila: It is a small mound located at around 5 kms to the west and south-west of Thanesar. It is about 500 square feet (46.5 square metres) at the top, 800 sq feet (74 square metres) at the base with a height of 30 feet to 40 feet (9 metres to 12 metres). Shreds of Painted Grey Ware and some other objects such as flesh-rubber, a terracotta reel, a mould for printing cloth, human head, a double inkpot, a hollow terracotta rattle, an earthen pot having a line of trisula and wheel carved on it, one earthen pitcher ornamented round the shoulder and some pieces of glazed pottery of the Muslim period have been found here during excavations. There is also a large well of that period.

Asthipura: This historical site lies to the west of Thanesar and marks the place where the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Mahabharata war were said to have been cremated. Cunningham excavated the mound which measures about 700 feet by 500 feet (213 metres by 152 metres) and found an extensive platform of unbaked bricks still 364 feet (111 metres) in length. Besides, remains of walls and fragments of terracotta sculptures have also been found.

Bhor Saidan: It is a small village in Kurukshetra District. At about 13 kms to the west of Thanesar towards Pehowa lies the Bhurirava Tank. Tradition associates the place with the war of Mahabharata. Bhuri was son of Somadatta, King of Vaishali. The village is named Bhor after him. This small village is situated on an ancient mound.

Bhagwanpura: Bhagwanpura is situated in the north-west of Ladwa on the right bank of the Sarasvati River. It is a prehistoric site which presents an overlap between the late Harappan and the Painted Grey Ware cultures which is of considerable significance, so far as the reconstruction of a continuous history of Haryana is concerned. Continuity on the tradition supported by characteristic finds in pottery type, painted designs, art of terra-cotta figurines and burials provide evidence of the two cultures here. The three phases of the structural activity of the Painted Grey Ware people are represented successively by the round or semi-circular thatched huts followed by, mud-walled houses and then by houses built with baked bricks. Interesting oval-shaped structures meant for some religious functions have also bee discovered.

Daulatpur: Daulatpur is another important archaeological site, situated on Thanesar-Ladwa road near Pipli crossing, where excavations have revealed a relationship between the late phase of the Harappan and Painted Grey Ware cultures.

These archaeological sites offered by Kurukshetra District are worth seeing.
