Identify the 'mature' Harappan site located in the Jammu and Kashmir?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Manda
Map 1 of the Mature Harappan sites shows Manda on the river Chenab, at the northernmost point of the Harappan region, in present-day Jammu and Kashmir; Jammu and Kashmir is one of the Indian States where Harappan finds have been made.
Tip: The text names only the States; the site in each of them is read off the map. Before the exam, put your finger on every site of the Harappan map and say aloud which State it lies in.
