Answer:
Hey Buddy here's ur answer
The Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro is called the "earliest public water tank of the ancient world". It measures 11.88 × 7.01 metres, and has a maximum depth of 2.43 metres. A one metre wide and 40 centimetres high mound is present at the ends of these stairs.
Answer:
A 2.4m deep, 12m long, and 7m wide pool known as "The Great Bath" is located at the centre of the Citadel, is made of fine baked waterproof mud bricks and a thick layer of bitumen (natural tar – presumably to keep water from seeping through the walls), which indicates that it was used for holding water.
The Great Bath is part of a large citadel complex that was found in the 1920s during excavations of Mohenjo-daro, one of the main centres of the Indus civilization. The bath is built of fine brickwork and measures 897 square feet (83 square metres). It is 8 feet (2.5 metres) lower than the surrounding pavement.
The Great Bath was mainly used for religious practice, but sometimes for bathing. They most likely used this for religious practice because there is no sign of a temple anywhere for religious practice. Some people weren't even allowed to enter the Great Bath because they were poor or not pure.
