DELHI: Established in 1861, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) completed 150 years in 2011. To commemorate the occasion, ASI is hosting an exhibition of antiquities, Rediscovering India: 1961-2011, in the capital.

The exhibition, inaugurated at National Museum on December 26, will remain open till January 31 between 10am and 5pm every day except Mondays and Republic Day.

It has on display 307 objects of terracotta, stone and metal found during excavations across the country.

The antiquities, starting from prehistoric stone tools, have been selected from the major periods of Indian history — prehistory to modern. Related photographs, maps, illustrations, explanatory charts and write-ups are on display, too.

Excavated items from three sites in Delhi — Salimgarh, Feroze Shah Kotla and Lal Kot — including a lamp stand, bowl and a tobacco pipe, are part of the exhibition.

A major attraction is the objects belonging to the Harappan culture which include inscribed seals, beads, potteries and terracotta figurines.

The furrow marks, the first evidence of agriculture at Kalibangan, and the oldest signboard at Dholavira are displayed through photographs.

A Buddha statue from Bodhgaya in Bihar, a golden bee pendant from Hampi, a caparisoned horse from Kondapur, a Tara statue from Bihar, a sprinkler from Mathura, gold coins from Ajanta and a door jamb from Bisokher are also part of the exhibition.
