In Mohenjodaro, where do we find evidence of structures that were probably used for special public purposes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option 1 - The Citadel
Perhaps the most unique feature of the Harappan civilisation was the development of urban centres. Mohenjodaro is one such site. Although Mohenjodaro is the most well-known site, the first site to be discovered was Harappa.
The settlement is divided into two sections, one smaller but higher and the other much larger but lower. Archaeologists designate these as the Citadel and the Lower Town respectively.
It is on the Citadel that we find evidence of structures that were probably used for special public purposes. These include the warehouse – a massive structure of which the lower brick portions remain, while the upper portions, probably of wood, decayed long ago – and the Great Bath.
