Bara, Punjab

Bara is a village on Ropar Morinda Road mainly having two Jatt Sikh surnames Chakkal & Heer. It is a archeological site in Rupnagar district in the Indian state of Punjab and located on the left bank of a seasonal monsoon rivulet called Budki Nadi, about 4 kilometers east of the city of Ropar in Punjab. Bara is the site of significant archeological excavations connected with the Indus Valley Civilization. It has some evidence of being home to a culture (sometimes called Baran culture) that was a pre-Harappan strand of the Indus Valley Civilization. Baran and Harappan cultures may have intertwined and coexisted in some places, such as Kotla Nihang Khan, also in modern-day Punjab.
