Banawali, an archaeological site located in the Fatehabad district of Haryana, India, is a significant Indus Valley Civilization settlement. Among its numerous findings, a terracotta model of a plough (which creates furrows) stands out as crucial evidence for understanding the agricultural practices of the Harappan people. While a ploughed field with furrows has been discovered at Kalibangan, the actual clay model of the plough itself was found at Banawali, providing direct insight into the tools used for tilling the land during that ancient period.
