Question

do the idols found in the indus valley civilization have any historical importance in the field of art?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sculpture in the Indian subcontinent, partly because of the climate of the Indian subcontinent makes the long-term survival of organic materials difficult, essentially consists of sculpture of stone, metal or terracotta. It is clear there was a great deal of painting, and sculpture in wood and ivory, during these periods, but there are only a few survivals. The main Indian religions had all, after hesitant starts, developed the use of religious sculpture by around the start of the Common Era, and the use of stone was becoming increasingly widespread.

Answer 2

The Mother Goddess terracotta sculpture is the most significant artefact from the Indus Valley Civilization. This woman is a primitive standing figure with necklaces hanging over her big breasts, a loin cloth on, and a girdle around her waist.

Explanation:

• The Indus Valley's artistic legacy The second half of the third millennium BCE saw the emergence of civilization.
• Sculptures, seals, pottery, jewellery, terracotta figurines, and other artefacts have all been discovered at numerous sites from this civilization.
• The painters of the era undoubtedly have excellent artistic senses and a strong imagination.
• Because they incorporated only specific anatomical characteristics, their depictions of human and animal figures were incredibly lifelike. In the instance of terracotta art, animal figures were modelled with great care.
• The towns of Harappa in the north and Mohenjodaro in the south, which make up the two main Indus Valley Civilization sites along the Indus river, represent one of the first examples of urban planning.
• A grid-like arrangement of homes, markets, storage facilities, workplaces, public restrooms, etc. served as additional markers. A sophisticated drainage system was also present.
• While Harappa and Mohenjodaro are in Pakistan, significant archaeological sites have also been found there, including Kalibangan in Rajasthan, Rakhigarhi in Haryana, Lothal and Dholavira in Gujarat, and Ropar in Punjab.
