The excavations at Harappa and Mohenjodaro and several other sites of the Indus Valley Civilisation revealed the existence of a very modern urban civilisation with expert town planning and engineering skills. The veryadvanced drainage system along with well planned roads and housesshow that a sophisticated and highly evolved culture existed in India before the coming of the Aryans. The sites of the Indus Valley Civilization were excavated under the Archaeological Survey of India established by the British.
The Harappan people had constructed mainly three types of buildings-dwelling houses, pillared halls and public baths.
Main features of Harappan remains are:
The settlements could be traced as far back as third millennium BC.
Some important settlements were excavated on the banks of the river Indus particularly at the bends that provided water, easy means of transportation of produce and other goods and also some protection by way of natural barriers of the river .
All the sites consisted of walled cities which provided security to the people.
The cities had a rectangular grid pattern of layout with roads that cut each other at right angles.
The Indus Valley people used standardised burnt mud-bricks as building material.
There is evidence of building of big dimensions which perhaps were public buildings, administrative or business centres, pillared halls and courtyards, There is no evidence of temples.
Public buildings include granarieswhich were used to store grains which give an idea of an organised collection and distribution system.
Along with large public buildings, there is evidence of small one roomed constructions that appear to be working peoples quarters.
The Harappan people were great engineers as is evident from the public bath that was discovered at Mohenjodaro.
