A prehistoric stone age site, possibly over a million years old, has been found in the Mangarbani hill forest in Haryana's Faridabad. Initial exploration by the state archaeological department suggests that this may be one of the largest Palaeolithic sites in the Indian sub-continent, where stone age tools were recovered from different open-air sites as well as from rock shelters. Cave paintings in the site were brought to the department's attention in May 2021 by environmental activist Sunil Harsana.
