( also known as Indus Civilization)
2300-1750 BCE (or 2600-1900 BCE)
By, Lakshmi Thankappan
The Great Bath
Harappa
• Name derived from one of its major city; Mohenjo
Daro “city of the dead,”was another large city.
The size of the area is around the size of England,
France and Spain combined.
• Economy based on the cultivation of wheat, barley
and peas, and on trading with the Mesopotamians
and others to the west.
• Contemporary with the Mid and Old Kingdom of
Egypt, the Sumarian, Akkadian, and Old
Babylonian periods
• No remains of royal tombs, palace, or large public
art work.
Plan of Harappa
Architectural Remains
• The city was built on a grid pattern in rectangular
block; buildings were made of standard size mud
or baked bricks; had sewage and drainage systems
• large streets
• Residence house constructed around the
courtyard; up to three stories (estimates had c.
35,000 inhabitants; located on the East side of the
city
• Granaries and citadel on the West side
• Baths: provided water for residences or may have
been used for general bathing and ritual
Great Bath
Sculptures
• Made of clay (terracotta, stone, and bronze)
• Male and Female figures may represent religious
figures which associated with fertility.
Bust of the “priest-king”
Nude Male Figure
Dancing Girl, limestone
Figurine of “Dancing Girl,” bronze
Terracotta figurine
Toy animals made of terracotta
Seals
• Seals carved with a copper burin, coated with alkali, and
baked to glaze the surface; depicted animals (e.g,humped
back bull, bull, goat, elephant, crocodile) mythical animals
(e.g., unicorn) standing in front of an incense burner or a
trough, human figures; more than 4000 have been
recovered.
• Note: inscription of seals (with 3-10 characters) which are
not decipherable; may be used for business as the seals to
signify the ownership of traded merchandise; writing
disappeared for 1500 years

• Hand thrown vessels decorated with red slip
and black painted decoration (animals,
geometric, floral and vegetation motifs)

Summary
• Harappa was highly structured, organized

• They probably worshipped gods and
goddesses of fertility and have practiced
yogic meditation and asceticism.
• The destruction of the civilization: flooding
and water resources (the shifting of water
system)
