മണ്ണിനടിയിൽ നിന്നും കണ്ടെടുത്ത 2000 വർഷത്തിലധികം പഴക്കമുള്ള ഹർഷവർദ്ധ നൻ്റെ. കൊട്ടാരം ഇന്ന് കാണുമ്പോൾ

This is the excavated site of Raja Harshavardhan's kingdom. This site is existed from 1 century BC. Raja Prabhakaravardhanan established the Pushyabhuti dynasty by joiningg the small kingdoms to defend the attacks from invaders. His son Rajyavardhan ruled after him, but soon was killed by opponents. The Raja Harshavardhanan came to the throne in his age of 16. The brave warrior defeated many kingdoms and extended his kingdom upto Assam and Andhra to south. He was a good ruler and many traders came to Thanesar, the capital of his kingdom through the silk route from different parts of the world. The kingdom flourished with gold and other wealth.

Mahmood Gasni invaded this kingdom in later years and looted the abundant treasure of this kingdom by demolishing palaces and temples. He had taken away all the wealth to Gasni.
