4. Vratyas In Indus Seals – I

5. Abstract:
Interpreting Indus Seals by deploying the
literary sources, social and cultural practices
that prevailed in those times, unearths
information hidden in the seals. Some of the
Indus seals show a peculiar picture of a man
merging with a tiger. The man is adorned with
the animal skin and has long matted hair
depicted horizontally like a snake. His head is
decorated with a turban on which are the
decorations of twigs and flowers. The
extended portion of the turban is held in the
left hand. The merging with animal body is
depicted with the front two feet like human
and the back ones like tiger’s.

6. Type and Theme of Indus Seals
A brief Description of Seals:
The Indus / Harappan Seals, many as tiny
as 3cms / 3.5cms, and weighing nine to ten
grams approximately were discovered in the
vast expanse of Indus civilization sites of
Harappa – Mohenjo-Daro and north
Western parts of India, were unearthed in
the excavations of 1927-1931. These seals
with finely executed carvings are the
archaeological proof of the civilization that
existed around 2300 B.C.E.

7. The scholars are more inclined to accept
the date of C-14 test and have fixed the
lower date to be 1500 B.C.E. It is also
interesting to note that the date of Rig
Veda and the other three Vedas is said to
be compiled approximately in 1400
B.C.E. in its evolved form. The Indus
seals can be thus considered as the
archaeological proof of the civilization of
Vedic period. Some seals depict the
Symbols of bird altar as well as the three
sacrificial altars as Symbols inscribed
that looks like Script, Support the view
that the information contained in the
Seals are related to fire altars of yajna.
