Hardbound. Condition: As New. From the introduction: The states of Himachal Pradesh, Panjab and Haryana lie between Lat. 27 40' - 33 15' N and long. 73 45' - 78 58' E. These states are encircled by Kashmir in the north, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in the east, and Rajasthan and Pakistan in the west. The area is watered by the Satluj, Vyas, Ravi, Markanda and Yamuna. It has alpine climate in Kangra, sub-tropical climate in the alluvial plains of the Panjab and Haryana, while Himachal is a mountainous area with pine and deodar forests and abundant fruit orchards. Panjab and Haryana have lush green cultivated fields rendering the region the veritable granary of India. The region also faced intermittent inroads and invasions from the north west since time immemorial. The area has a large number of sites and monuments from the stone age, the pre-Harappan and Harappan times to the succeeding historical periods. "The states of Himachal Pradesh, Panjab and Haryana are fairly rich in archaeological sites and monuments. The stone age sites at Bilaspur and Kangra in Himachal Pradesh and Aitbarpur in the Panjab are as notable as the numerous Neolithic sites in Himachal and that at Dumeli in the Panjab. A large number of pre-Harappan and Harappan sites have been identified in district Mansa and at other places in the Panjab and Haryana.After the partition, Panjab had the unique distinction of witnessing excavation of the first Harappan site at Ropar in the Indian Union followed by Bara where a culture contemporary with the pre-Harappan to late Harappan has been revealed. In Haryana, at Bhagwanpura, an overlap of 164 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: New. From the introduction: "Delhi is situated on a roughly triangular area in the plains of Yamuna and has picturesque outcrops of the Aravalli Ridge spread out as an arc in its western sector. The area of the Ridge has oldest geological formations which conditioned the natural environment of early man, as reflected in his earliest stone tools. The Yamuna having several palaeo-channels, fostered many ancient cultures. Thus the past of Delhi is no longer confined to the seven cities (eighth being present Delhi) but is pushed back to several millennia as evidenced by the artifacts of early stone age on the Ridge. After a gap of many thousand years, in the second millennium B.C., the area witnessed settled pattern of life and agriculture as revealed by the late Harappan remains at Mandoli and Bhorgarh. Few cities in India could claim the long continuity and status that Delhi has enjoyed through the ages. At the site of Purana Qila lay perhaps Indraprastha, the capital of the Pandavas, heroes of the Mahabharata. The painted Grey Ware, associated by some scholars with the age of the Mahabharata War, is available in and around Delhi. Continuous occupations from the pre-Mauryan to early Mughal period (circa fifth century B.C. to the sixteenth century A.D.) have been revealed in the excavations at Purana Qila. A glorious chapter to Delhi's history was added with the discovery of an inscription of the Maurya Emperor Asoka (273-36 B.C.) engraved on a rock of Aravalli outcrop, near Srinivaspuri. About the eighth century A.D., there existed at the site of the Sultan Ghari's tomb (8 km west of the Qutb Minar) a large temple erected probably by some feudatory of the Pratiharas. In any case, the Tomar Rajputs established themselves in the hills south of Delhi by the tenth century A.D. The first medieval city of Delhi, believed to have been founded by the Tomars, was called Dhilli or Dhillika, although among the known records the name Dhillika occurs for the first time in the inscription of A.D. 1170 from Bijolia, District Bhilwara which mentions the capture of Delhi by the Chahamanas. The Palam Baoli inscription of A.D. 1276, written in the reign of Ghiyasud-Din Balban, also calls the town Dhilli and the country in which it lies as Hariyanaka. Another inscription dated in A.D. 1328 in the reign of Muhammad Tughluq (A.D. 1324-51), now in the Red Fort Museum, also refers to the city of Dhillika in the Hariyana-country. A less-known inscription dated in A.D. 1326, found in Ladnu in District Didwana, also mentions the city of Dhilli in Haritana-country. Another name, Yoginipura, occurs as an alternative of Dhilli in the Palam Baoli inscription, which also mentions the village of Palamba, obviously the modern Palam. Both Dhilli and Yoginipura occur frequently in the Jaina Pattavalis. A king by the name of Madanapala is mentioned as ruling over Dhilli or Yoginipura in Samvat 1223 (A.D. 1166). Since the words Madana and Ananga are synonymous in Sanskrit, there is likelihood that the king under reference may be Anangpal, the date given being a mistake. The Jaina literary tradition gains some support from the fact that Delhi was obviously also an important Jaina centre in medieval days, as evidenced by several Jaina sculptures which are found re-used in the Quwwatu'l-Islam mosque. The name Yoginipura is believed to owe its origin to a temple of yoginis (female semi-divine beings), which exists no longer but the memory of which is preserved in the present Jogamaya temple near Mehrauli, which itself is derivable from 'Mihirapuri', and suggests that a Sun temple may have also existed here. Tomars were supplanted by the Chauhan (Chahamana) Rajputs. Several temples, Hindu and Jaina, were erected during the Rajput rule. The Chauhan ruler, Prithviraja was defeated by the Muslims towards the close of the twelfth century A.D., and Delhi thus became the capital, initially of the Pathan Sultans and from A.D. 1526 onwards of the Mughals. During the British pe.

Condition: new. Pages: 392 Language: English. Corpus of Indus Seals and Inscriptions (CISI) has as its purpose to make available for research, in as good photographs as possible, all available seals and inscriptions relating to the Indus Civilization, including its Early Harappan and Late Harappan phases of development. This material is fundamental for the research of the poorly understood script, language, and religion of the Indus Civilization, and a major outlet for its art. The seals and other types of inscribed artefacts are also important for the study of the Harappan social, political and economic organization, including administrative practices, external cultural contacts, internal trade and various techniques, such as seal carving. The Indus Civilization flourished in Pakistan and Northwestern India, and its Mature phase is dated to 2600-1900 BCE. Ed.

From the preface: The first volume of the report on the excavations at Kalibangan was prepared in 2000 and published by the Archaeological Survey of India in 2003. In it we had given an account of the settlement in so far as it related to the Early Harappan times (Period I). In the present volume, which consists of two parts. We place before the reader an account of the Mature Harappan settlement (Period II). We once again deeply apologize for the inordinate delay in the publication of these two volumes, which has been due to reasons beyond our control, as mentioned in the preface to earlier volume. However, Better late than never is the maxim which gives us some solace, and we earnestly hope that the archaeological fraternity will forgive us for the delay. As in the case of the earlier volume, in the present one too the credit of organizing the work must go primarily to Shri Jagat Pati Joshi. He has taken pains to piece together the field drawings, making them presentable. He has also analyzed the stratigraphy of the site, paying attention to each and every trench. Along with Ms Madhu Bala, he has examined the vast store of antiquities recovered from the site, selecting the for the purpose of this report and writing on them. Ms Madhu Bala has also written the chapters on small finds and pottery. Shri A.K. Sharma was in charge of the cemetery area and has contributed a detailed chapter on the burials, besides K.S. Ramachandran who has written on some of the pot-burials excavated by him. Prof. Bala Subramaniam of IIT and Jagat Pati Joshi have contributed a chapter on Harappan measuring instruments from Kalibangan.
