Question

21.WRITE AND EXPLAIN ANY SIX FEATURES OF HARPAN CIVILIZATION CITIES?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Harappan cities were generally divided into two main parts - the raised area; known as the 'Citadel', and the lower town. The Citadel was more in height because the buildings in it were built on mud brick platforms. This area was separated from the lower town by a wall.

Answer 2

All the works of Harappan art, including figurines of clay and terracota, stone and bronze sculpture, seals and beads, are products of skilled craftsmen. Harappans produced their own characteristic pottery which was made glossy and shining. The Harappan artists were skilled sculptors. The statue of a bearded man and the bronze statue of dancing girl are masterpieces of Harappan art. The sculpture in metal wax was done through the special lost wax process. The goldsmiths made jewellery of silver, gold and precious stones which were worn by both men and women such as necklace, armlets, earrings. Toys of birds, animals, figurines, carts and whistles were also made.
