===Archaeological site ===

'''Bir Babran archaeological site''' is located to the north of the Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (LUVAS) campus in Hisar, and is a distinct mound separate from other well-known sites in the region like [[Bhirrana]]. While it is not as extensively documented in public records as some other major [[Indus Valley Civilisation|Indus-Sarasvati Valley Civilisation]] sites, its existence is recognized by local government and academic circles. The site is a part of the larger historical landscape of Hisar, which has a rich archaeological heritage, with many mounds dotting the surrounding area. The name "Bir Babran" refers to a specific archaeological mound and is often associated with the local forested area known as Bir Hisar. The site's location on the edge of the university campus has protected it from modern development, preserving it as a potentially significant source of information for understanding the ancient history and settlement patterns of the region.<ref>Hisar District Administration, "Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences".
