Kalibangan site was discovered by Luigi Pio Tessitori, an Italian Indologist and linguist. He died at a tender age of just 32 years but did a remarkable work in the arena of Indian Pre-history. He was a degree student at Florence and was doing work on Ram Charit Manas of Tulsidas, when he was appointed to head the Bardic and Historical Survey of Rajputana under the Asiatic Society of Bengal. He worked and got very useful information about the Bardic culture. He also worked for archaeology and sought direction from J Marshall. He discovered inscriptions, sculptures, earthenware pottery, coins and seals in that Pilibangan Area at the border of Hanumangarh and Suratgarh and thus a great site of Indus Valley Civilization, Kalibangan was discovered. However, he fell ill in 1919, and just after a short illness died at Bikaner in Rajasthan.

Kalibangan is famous for the site where relics from the Indus Valley Civilization were unearthed. The relics belong to the Harappan and pre-Harappan settlements from the year 2500 BC. Excavations at Kalibangan have revealed Harappan seals, human skeletons, unknown scripts, stamps, copper bangles, beads, coins, toys, terracotta and shells. Another place to visit here is the Archaeological Museum, which was set up in 1983 to house findings from an excavation conducted on the Harappan site during 1961-1969. The museum here houses three galleries – the pre-Harappan one, and two devoted to Harappan artefacts
