Answer:
The Great Bath is one of the well-known structures among the ruins of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization at Mohenjo-daro in Sindh, Pakistan.[1][2][3] Archaeological evidence indicates that the Great Bath was built in the 3rd millennium BCE, soon after the raising of the "citadel" mound on which it is located.

Another view of the Great Bath
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. Two wide staircases, one from the north and one from the south, served as the entry to the structure. A one metre wide and 40 centimetres high mound is present at the ends of these stairs. A hole was also found at one end of the Bath which might have been used to drain the water into it.
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. They had a bathroom area near the Great Bath most likely used to purify them to enter the Great Bath. They had nowhere else to go for religious practice so they used the Great Bath. They might also use the Great Bath to clean themselves or to relax. Now their city is complete, they had a downfall.
