explain 3 features of Harappan civilization
Answers
Answer:
Harappan architecture is the architecture of the Indus Valley Civilization, an ancient society of people who lived during circa 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE in the Indus Valley of modern-day India and Pakistan.
The civilization's cities were noted for their urban planning, baked brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, clusters of large non-residential buildings, and new techniques in handicraft (carnelian products, seal carving) and metallurgy (copper, bronze, lead, and tin).[1] Its large urban centres of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa very likely grew to containing between 30,000 and 60,000 individuals,[2][note 1] and the civilisation itself during its florescence may have contained between one and five million individuals.[3][note 2]
The three features of Harappan Civilization are:-
- Each city was divided into two parts - the raised area called the 'Citadel' and the 'lower town'.
- The main streets followed a grid pattern running from north to south or from east to west.
- The house at streets corners were rounded to allow carts to pass easily.
