Khirasara is an archaeological site belonging to the Indus Valley Civilization. This site is located in Nakhatrana Taluka of Kutch district in the western Indian state of Gujarat, on the bank of Khari river, from Bhuj, the district headquarters.
==Excavations== During 1976-1977 exploration, an Archaeological Survey of India official discovered a big cubical weight, fragments of pottery, and vessels of red polished ware from the site. In December 2009, a team from the Vadodara division of the Archaeological Survey of India began excavations at this site after the discovery of a fortification wall enclosing a area.
