Indus Valley Civilization

Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) sites reveal sophisticated urban planning, with major cities like Harappa (Pakistan) and Mohenjo-daro (Pakistan) known for their advanced drainage and large structures, while key Indian sites include Dholavira, Lothal, and Rakhigarhi, showcasing extensive trade, unique town planning (like Dholavira’s water management) and significant archaeological finds like seals and pottery, spanning modern-day Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan. LKet us first Look at the features of these Sites.

We are Dividing Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) sites by features (like Sculptures, seals, pottery, burial practices,Public Buildings, water management etc) and then grouping locations that share those features . This is an excellent, effective study strategy, allowing for deeper understanding of urbanism, technology, and cultural variations across major sites like Harappa, Mohenjodaro, Dholavira, Lothal, and Kalibangan, rather than rote memorization of each location’s specifics.
