Explain the main sourcesf of information …

Archaeological sources are the main sources of the Harappan Civilisation. Two important sources of the Harappa Civilisation are:
The Great Bath

• The Great Bath discovered at Mohenjo-daro revealed that the people had attained a high level of perfection in the art of building.
• It has been suggested that the Great Bath was used for bathing during religious ceremonies.
• It is also suggested that perhaps a hierarchal structure existed in a society where the ruling class collected taxes to build structures for public use.

Seals

• About 2,000 seals were discovered from the sites of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro.
• Most of these seals were rectangular and square in shape. They bear the images of one-horned bull, goat, tiger, elephant and rhinoceros.
• These seals reveal the trade, religious beliefs and script of the people. The seal with an image of pashupati show that perhaps people believed in lord Shiva.
• Seals also tell us about the trading practices of the period. The discovered seals show that the Harappans were trading with other civilisations as many Harappan seals were found in Mesopotamia.
