Sinauli, also spelled
Sanauli, is an archaeological site located in Baraut tehsil, Baghpat district, western Uttar Pradesh, India. The site is famous for its Bronze Age carts, otherwise called "chariots" in the press and Indian scholarly papers, the first ones to be recovered in archaeological excavation in South Asia. Local legends tell that Sinauli is one of the five villages that god Krishna unsuccessfully negotiated with the Kaurava princes to avoid the War at Kurukshetra.
