Valley was discovered in 1856
by a railroad crew.

Mohenjo-Dara or “Hill of the

Both cities shared urban design
and architectural features.
3 miles in circumference with

Small sculptures in stone,
terra cotta, and bronze
appear to represent priestly
or governmental officials,
dancing girls, and perhaps
mother goddesses.
Since there are no surviving
texts to explain identities,
these can only be guesses.
ZAZZZZZZZ

Dice and small sculptures
of bullock carts were
probably used as toys and
games.
The first known use of cotton
as a fiber for weaving textiles
occurred in the Indus Valley.

11. ARCHITECTURE OF IVC
Carefully Planned Cities
Originating around 2500 B.C.E. the thriving
civilizations survived for around 500 years.
Both Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, two of the
largest among 500 sites, were three miles in
circumference with around 40,000 people.

12. Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa
To the north is a citadel or raised
area.
In Mohenjo-Daro, the citadel is
built on an architectural
platform about 45 feet above
the plain.
On the summit was a huge
communal bath.
Next to the large bath was a huge
open space—a granary where
food was stored from possible
floods.
Fortified walls mark the
southeast corner.

13. Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa
•The lower city was laid out in a gridiron with the main streets about 45 feet wide
•Private houses, almost every one with its own well, bathing space, and toilet
consisting of a brick seat over a drainage area.
•Brick-lined drains flushed by water carried liquid and solid waste to sumps,
where it was carted away, probably to fertilize nearby fields.

14. Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa
•The town plan was regular.
•Even fire-baked bricks were uniform in
size and shape.
•The regularity of plan and construction
suggests a government with
organization and bureaucratic capacity.
•No monumental architecture clearly
marks the presence of a palace or
temple.
•There is little sign of social stratification
in the plan or buildings.
