Heritage of Haryana
Haryana, often called the cradle of Indian civilization, boasts a rich and glorious heritage that dates back thousands of years. It is home to one of the largest sites of the Indus Valley Civilization — Rakhigarhi — revealing the region’s advanced urban culture as early as 2600 BCE. Haryana’s historical significance is deeply connected to the epic Mahabharata, with Kurukshetra being the battlefield where Lord Krishna delivered the eternal message of the Bhagavad Gita.
The land has witnessed the rise and fall of great empires — from the Mauryas and Guptas to the Mughals and British — each leaving behind architectural, spiritual, and cultural imprints. Temples, forts, stepwells, and ancient sarovars across the state are living reminders of its glorious past.
Haryana’s folk culture, traditional music, raginis, and dances like Dhamal and Ghoomar keep the spirit of its heritage alive. Local craftsmanship, pottery, embroidery, and oral storytelling further enrich its cultural identity.
At AKHIL BHARTIYE HARYANVI EKTA SANGH, we are committed to preserving and promoting Haryana’s heritage, uniting Haryanvis in pride, and passing on this legacy to future generations with honor and respect.
