Delhi’s sun still is relentless, but inside the high-ceilinged, air-conditioned galleries of the National Museum in the heart of New Delhi, 6000-4000 years old history awaits you an arms-length away!


Welcome to DBF's Dawn of Cities - Indus to Saraswati Rivers Civilization!


Step back into one of the subcontinent's civilizational giant 'Banyan Tree', whose roots connect with everything we know of today in India...explore Who We Were, Before We Became Who We Are!!


A curated indoor heritage walk through the Harappan & Ancient Artefacts Galleries from a time when Rome had not even laid its first stone, a Bronze Age (perhaps empire!) spanning over a million square kilometers flourished along the Sindhu and Saraswati river basins!


Behind the glass cases of the National Museum lie tangible moments seemingly frozen in time 6,000 years ago - silent evidence of an extraordinarily sophisticated world.


What we’ll uncover together:

- Harappan Crafts & Daily Lives: Be it the very recently in controversy once again, the so-called 'Dancing Girl', or the enigmatic "Pashupati Seal" , or examine ancient board-games, and mysterious perforated pottery! 

- "Meluha's" Global Economic Prowess!

- Indus Valley Civilisation Mythologies & Spiritual life

- The fascinating Banyan-like roots connecting Indus iconography, Sacred Tantric lifestyles, Animal Rituals and later-day Hindu Philosophy!

- And in the end; am Utter Complete Collapse! Or maybe not!?


We will walk the bridge across Millennia....a Civilisation that is one of the reasons our nation is called India! 

Whether you're an archaeology & history geek, a mythology enthusiast, or someone who simply wants a cool, insightful Sunday morning with deep dives in epic stories, this walk offers a microscopic lens into Who We Were, Before We Became Who We Are!!
