7.2 Kanwari Indus Valley Civilization Mound-2[edit source]

This is located at coordinates longitude:28.977120N & longitude=75.820861E. Mound 1, 2 and 3 were one large contiguous mound. But area between mound 1 and 3 has been encroached upon by the villagers who are unaware of the Indus Valley Civilization archaeological mounds and their ancient heritage, and they expanded the small Bua Kunwari MADHI into a large DHAM (temple) and adjacent Gaushala (Cow refuse/shelter) on top of the mound. This encroached upon part of the mound is designated as mound-2. For the location of the mound-2 click here.

7.3 Kanwari Indus Valley Civilization Mound-3[edit source]

Another location for the second archaeological mound is located at coordinates longitude:28.977122N & longitude=75.820861E, within the south-east corner of the Bua Rani Kanwari Dham[19] boundary walls bounded by the Hissar-Tosham Road to the east, Jharna Johad/pond to the south, main Bua Kanwari Temple structure to the west, bitumen paved village approach road to the north. The residents of Bua Rani Kanwari Dham use the top of this mound to grow vegetables and in the process damaging the mound. The location of the mound-3 click here.
