[akandabaratam] Reading sarasvati hieroglyphs on Bhirrana seals

 

 

 

 

Bhirrana is a remarkable site recently excavated by Dr. Rao of ASI, Nagpur. Prof. BB Lal notes that this site indicates the possibility of identifying Vedic people on the banks of River Sarasvati since the site has shown continuous habitation from c. 7th millennium BCE. Four seals have been found in addition to the typical artefacts of Sarasvati civilization found on many other sites on the river basin.
