The Indus Valley Civilization was an ancient civilization located in what is Pakistan and northwest India today, on the fertile flood plain of the Indus River and its vicinity. Evidence of religious practices in this area date back approximately to 5500 BCE. Farming settlements began around 4000 BCE and around 3000 BCE there appeared the first signs of urbanization. By 2600 BCE, dozens of towns and cities had been established, and between 2500 and 2000 BCE the Indus Valley Civilization was at its peak.

The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilisation (3300–1300 BCE; mature period 2600–1600 BCE) mainly in the northwestern regions of the South Asia, extending from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India.
Along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia it was one of three early civilisations of the Old World, and of the three, the most widespread.
It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, which flows through the length of Pakistan, and along a system of perennial, mostly monsoon-fed, rivers that once coursed in the vicinity of the seasonal Ghaggar-Hakra river in northwest India and eastern Pakistan.

Harappan civilization and its decline& art& cultureGauravKumar2991
The Indus Valley Civilization was a Bronze Age civilization in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE.
The hybrid energy storage system is the technological development to enhance the life of the primary energy storage device. Secondary storage system need to be identified based on the power or energy density to support accordingly to meet the power balance is a challenging task, The increasing demand for achieving high voltage from low voltage levels has become a challenging task. Low voltage DC supply could be easily extracted using Solar PV (Photo Voltaic) System. High power applications demand is moving towards HVDC, drive train, DC microgrid, Electric Vehicle (4 wheeler, 3wheeler, and 2wheeler), Elevators, and robotic applications. The extraction of power from a low voltage DC source to meet the higher power application requires high efficient, high step-up with high gain DC-DC Converters. Therefore, to boost the voltage from solar PV to a high level a high step-up and efficient DC-DC converter need to be designed and developed which paves way for research problem identification in the converter topology. Even using a multi-level inverter for high-power electric vehicle application is also another research area in electric vehicle technology for improved power output.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

2. CIVILIZATIONDEFINED
•The stage of human social development and organization
which is considered most advanced.DEFINITION
•The society, culture and lifestyle of people in a particular
area.OR SIMPLY
3. INTRODUCTION
• A bronze age civilization- Also known as Mature harappan
civilization (2600-1900 BC)
• Thrived in the basins of Indus river profiting from the fertility
of the land
• Had a population of 5 million at its peak
• People were mostly tradesmen or artisans
• Known for
― futuristic urban planning
― astonishing architecture
― remarkable handicrafts
― work in the field of metallurgy
4. REGIONALSPREAD
• Sites cover most of the modern Pakistan and northwestern
India
• Area covered is about 1.3 million square miles
• The largest among the old world civilizations
• Over 1050 sites; scattered across the area
• There are many mountains, valleys and plains near and in
the Indus River Valley Civilization which is actually a very
dry plateau. The Himalaya Mountains are in the north
which helped to protect the civilization.
7. ROOTS& EVOLUTIONOF INDUSVALLEY
CIVILIZATION
• Earliest civilizations in Indus Valley was discovered in
1856 by a railroad crew.
• Harappa
• Mohenjo-Daro or “Mound of the Dead”
• Both cities shared urban design and architectural
features.
• 3 miles in circumference with populations of
40,000
• Roots of Indus Valley began as early as 7000 B.C.E.
• Possibly began as herders who moved into the
river valley during colder months.
• Over time, they may have decided to farm – river-
watered lands of the valley.
• They began trading by boat along the Indus down
into the Arabian Sea, into the Persian Gulf, and up
the Tigris and Euphrates into Mesopotamia
8. NAURALRESOURCES
• The Indus Valley contained numerous natural resources that were an important part ofHarappan
civilization.
• Resources included:
• Fresh water and timber.
• Materials such as gold, silver, semi-precious stones.
• Marine resources.
• Nanga Parbat and numerous other mountains of the Himalaya, Karakorum and Hindu Kush
provide a continuous source of water for the Indus and its tributaries.
• These mountain ranges also provided important timber, animal products, and minerals,
gold, silver, tin and semiprecious stones that were traded throughout the Indus Valley.
9. VALLEYS
• Cedar in Chitral valley is still used to make houses and coffins, following a tradition that dates back
to the first Indus cities.
• This was mined during the Indus period and traded throughout the Indus Valley and to far
Mesopotamia and Egypt.
COAST
• The coast of Sindh and Makran have bays and ancient Harappan sites have been located along the
coast to the border of modern Iran.
• These coastal settlements were involved in fishing and trading, using the monsoon winds to travel
back and forth to Oman and the Persian Gulf region.
10. MAJORCITIES: MOHENJO-DAROAND
HARAPPA
• The cities are well known for their impressive, organized and regular layout.
• They had well laid plumbing and drainage systems, including indoor toilets.
• Over one thousand other towns and villages also existed in this region.
13. • like Egypt and Mesopotamia
• agriculture and flood-control
• significant industry and trade.
CULTURE AND SOCIETY
advanced agriculture
surplus production
textiles: wool and cotton
domesticated animals and fish
• It was in the mid 4th millennium BC that the first major civilizations began to arise along major river
systems such as the Nile and the Tigris Euphrates. Though not so well known the Indus Valley or
Harappan culture was one of the greatest of these early civilizations. It arose along the Indus Valley
in what is now Pakistan around 3500 BC and reached its peak from 2900 - 1900 BC. The capital
seems to have been near the small modern town of Harappa whence its name but there were other
large cities at Mohenjo Daro, Mehrgarh and elsewhere. At its peak it was a vast empire of cities,
towns and public works that stretched from Afghanistan to the Indian ocean. But by c. 1300 the
Harappan civilization had vanished likely due to prolonged failure of the monsoon rains. In contrast
to cuneiform and hieroglyphics the writing system of the Indus culture has still not been deciphered.
14. UNICORN:SEAL+WRITING
This unicorn seal was also discovered during the late 1927-
31 excavations at Mohenjo-Daro.
One theory holds that the bull actually has two horns, but
that these have been stylized to one because of the
complexity of depicting three dimensions.
However the manufacturing and design process behind seals
was so sophisticated that the depiction of three dimensions
might not necessarily have been a problem.
• The Harappan civilization was mainly urban and mercantile.
• Inhabitants of the Indus valley traded with Mesopotamia, southern India,
Afghanistan, and Persia for gold, silver, copper, and turquoise.
16. TRADEAND TRAVEL
Indus Valley cities lived by trade. Farmers brought food into
the cities. Traders brought the materials workers needed.
Trade goods included terracotta pots, beads, gold and silver,
coloured gem stones such as turquoise and lapis lazuli,
metals, flints (for making stone tools), seashells and pearls.
17. NECKLACE
• Necklace from Mohenjo-Daro
made from gold, agate, jasper,
steatite and green stone.
• The gold beads are hollow and
the pendant agate and jasper
beads are attached with thick
gold wire.
• Steatite beads with gold caps
serve to separate each of the
pendant beads.
• This collection of gold and agate ornaments (see next slide) includes objects found at both Mohenjo-Daro and
Harappa.
• At the top are fillets of hammered gold that would have been worn around the forehead.
• The other ornaments include bangles, chokers, long pendant necklaces, rings, earrings, conical hair
ornaments, and broaches.
• These ornaments were never buried with the dead, but were passed on from one generation to the next.
• These ornaments were hidden under the floors in the homes of wealthy merchants or goldsmiths.
18. ARTIFACTS
• These egg shaped whistles may have been used for music, a tradition
that is still present in rural areas of Pakistan and India.
The central ornament worn
on the forehead of the
famous "priest-king"
sculpture from Mohenjo-daro
appears to represent an eye
bead, possibly made of gold
with steatite inlay in the
center.
20. ECONOMY-AGRICULTURE
• The Mesopotamian model of irrigated agriculture was used to take advantage of the fertile grounds along
the Indus River.
• Earthen walls were built to control the river's annual flooding. Crops grown included wheat, barley, peas,
melons, and sesame.
• This civilization was the first to cultivate cotton for the production of cloth. Several animals were
domesticated including the elephant which was used for its ivory.
ECONOMY
• Cubical weights in graduated sizes.
• These weights conform to the standard Harappan binary weight system that was used in all of the
settlements.
• The smallest weight in this series is 0.856 grams and the most common weight is approximately 13.7
grams, which is in the 16th ratio.
• These weights were found in recent excavations at Harappa and may have been used for controlling trade
and possibly for collecting taxes.
21. LANGUAGE
• The Indus (or Harappan) people used a pictographic script.
• Some 3500 specimens of this script survive in stamp seals carved in stone, in
molded terracotta and faience amulets, in fragments of pottery, and in a few other
categories of inscribed objects.
• In addition to the pictographic signs, the seals and amulets often contain
iconographic motifs, mostly realistic pictures of animals apparently worshipped as
sacred, and a few cultic scenes, including anthropomorphic deities and
worshippers.
• This material is important to the investigation of the Harappan language and
religion, which continue to be major issues.
22. SEALS
Silver Seal Clay Seals
GAMES
People in the Indus
Valley
played board games
like this,
moving pieces
between
squares.
Maze puzzles and dice
games were enjoyed by
children and adults.
23. POLITICS
• It can be assumed that such
progress and maintenance of
order would have been
possible with the presence of a
political system.
• Indoor Kitchen (Colder)
• Outdoor Kitchen (Warmer)
(In present houses of Kutchh)
• Shows division based on various
social class.
• Rich lived in Multi-roomed houses.
• Public buildings located on streets
along with big houses.
• Small houses along lanes .
• Technology is a broad concept that deals
with usage & knowledge of tools & crafts &
how it affects.
• Ability to control & adopt its environment``
• Drainage and Sanitation system are remarkable.
• City was heart of civilization.
• Main street
• (N-S)
• (E-W)
• Intersect at 90 degree.
• Size of streets (9-34 feets)
• Footpaths (Public Welt) and
• Street Lamps.
HOUSES
24. Buildings
Dwelling houses Large buildings Great baths
• Smaller houses- 2
rooms
• Larger houses –
multiple rooms
• Big buildings –
courtyards
• Concentrated on –
utility ,
comfortable ,
simple
• Wooden flat roofs
• Doors and
Windows – fixed
on side walls (
entry through
lanes)
• Building material
25. POLITICALSTRUCTURE
• Rulers within the cities of the Indus Valley governed through the control of
trade and religion rather than military strength.
• Archaeological records provide no immediate answers for a center of power
or for depictions of people in power in Harappan society.
• But, there are indications of complex decisions being taken and
implemented.
• There was a single state, given the similarity in artifacts, the evidence for
planned settlements, the standardised ratio of brick size, and the
establishment of settlements near sources of raw material.
• Harappan society had no rulers, and everybody enjoyed equal status.
26. • the nature of the political system that might have existed from around 25DQ
BC. Under the assumption that the cities of Indus valley were colonies of
Mesopotamia, it was supposed that the mode of government was the same.
• political system of the Indus valley as composed of several competing classes
of elites who maintained different levels of control over the vast regions of the
Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra valleys.
• .This political integration was possible because of certain far reaching
developments during the period 2600-2500 BC labeled as 'century of change'.
• This included the creation of a script, the introduction of new concept of
planning and monumental architecture.
27. DRAINAGESYSTEM
• No civilization before Romans had such advanced
Drainage System.
• Each house had vertical and horizontal drainage
• Underground drains for streets (stone slab)
• House drains are connected with road drains
• Soak pit.
• Drains if not cleaned, water usually ran into houses.
• Surrounded by massive walls & gateways.
• Control trade.
• Avoid or stop floods.
• Grid Systems.
