he archaeological excavations of this site have thrown significant light on successive remains of an ancient city settlement. The site spread over an area of 1kmx750 m. This site was excavated by Shri B.M.Pandey of Archaeological Survey of India. A few potsherds of Painted Grey Ware found from the lowest level of the site indicate the existence of a settlement before starting a continuous habitation at the site since Christian era. The excavated material ranging from Circa 1st century AD to 19th century was divided in six cultural periods.This beautiful tomb and the madarasa (school) are associated with the Sufi saint Abdu'r-Rahim alias Aabd-ul-Razak, popularly known as Shaikh Chehli (also pronounced Chilli) believed to be the spiritual teacher of the Mughal Prince Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Emperor Shahjahan. The tomb, overlooking the madarasa and standing on an artificial terrace, is octagonal in shape with the entrance in the south. It is built of buff sandstone and is crowned with a pear-shaped dome of white marble standing on a high circular drum. The cenotaph of saint occupies the centre of the chamber, while his grave is located in the lower chamber, which conjoins the madarasa through a narrow gallery. The madrassa has nine-arched openings on each side of a central courtyard that has in the centre a stone masonty tank. John Dawkins, the then collector of Thaneshar, was instrumental in getting the tomb repaired in 1854 AD. The antiquities recovered from the excavations at Harsh ka Tilla and Bhagwanpura (both failing in the district of Kurukshetra) are displayed in two small museums of the madarasa building.

The harsh ka tila is A amazing place situated at the kurukshetra near shekh chilli makbara. The harsh vardhan was a king of sthaneshvar in current time known as thaneshar. The place is amazing for its natural beauty their is too much greenery in the surroundings. You must visit thr place if u are visiting to the kurukshetra. Their are many historical places near the tila. Like maa bhadarkali temple, ssthaneshwatr temple, shekh chilli ka makbara. The timing to visit shekh chilli is 9 to 5 PM. After 5 PM all the places should closed for the visitors. Here I'm sharing some pics that would me might useful for u.
Harsh ka Tila is an ancient archeological site located on the outskirts of the city of Kurukshetra near Sheikh Chilli's tomb. The site which is spread over an area of 1km x750 m has within itself invaluable wealth of information in the form of a variety of historical remnants belonging to periods ranging from Kushan to Mughal era. Must visit while in Haryana, India.
