  • The chalcolithic culture in India generally belongs to, the PostHarappan period. 
  • However, the ‘Ahar’ or ‘Banas’ culture in the Mewad region of Rajasthan was contemporary to the Harappan civilisation. 
  • Balathal and Gilund are important sites of Ahar culture. 
  • It was first discovered at Ahar near Udaipur, so it was named as ‘Ahar’ culture. 
  • Ahar is a tributary of the river Banas, so it is also known as ‘Banas culture’.
