Purani Marmi, also known as Marmi, is an archaeological site, that was discovered in 1993 by V. N. Misra. The site of Marmi is located on the bank of the Banas River in modern day India. The site was occupied during the Ahar-Banas period. The people who occupied the site were mostly farmers.

One of the more famous aspects of the Marmi society, was their figurines. Archaeologist found 58 cattle figurines, which were made from a terracotta and sand mixture. Some of the figurines were decorated, while others were simple. There were three main styles of cattle figurines. The first was a more stylized one, followed by one and two humped cattle. All of the figurines were small, measuring at about two to five centimeters. The Marmi figurines can be found at other archaeological sites, which indicates that the Marmi people were trading with other societies.
