Archaeological excavation of excavation of an ancient Buddhist temple was conducted at Larkana district in Sind. During excavation, archaeologists discovered pre-historic clay-pots and a few pieces of artistic works made of stone. The ruins of a very old civilisation were beneath the ground wherein the actual excavation was being carried on. The name of the place was ‘Mohenjo-Daro’.
Archaeologistsfurther discovered in Harappa the same ruins of the civilisation as were found at Mohenjodaro. Harappa was in the Montgomery district of the Punjab and was 650 kilometers away from Mohenjodaro.
After 1947, governments of India and Pakistan took initiative to conduct excavations in more other places, and discovered relics of the Indus Civilization. It is found that the circumferential extension of the civilisation over the area was 1550 kilometers.
Even special and important ruins similar to those found at the Indus valley have been discovered in places far away from the areas near the river, Indus.
At Rangur, Lothal in Gujarat, and in some other places near the Nerboda, same traces as those at Harappa have been found. It is as if these areas bore witness to the transformation of Harappan civilisation. At Lothal, houses, streets and thorough fares, public baths, sewer systems, harbors far small ships, docks etc. have been unearthed in copies number. These deserve mention along with the relics of Mohenjodaro and Harappa.
At Ruper in north-eastern Punjab, relics similar to those of Mohenjodaro and Harappa especially clay vessels of drivers colour and shape have been found. At places near Bikaner of Rajasthan, a number of articles have been discovered, after excavation of the sandy areas. These bear marks of the Indus culture.
Even in the Gangetic areas, excavations show the remains that can be compared with those found at Harappa.

Harappa is 4700 years old city in the subcontinent, discovered in 1920. After its discovery cities like Mohenjodaro, Lothal, Dholavira and Kalibangan have also been discovered and are known as the Harappan cities as were discovered after Harappa.
All these cities were discovered around river Indus and hence prove the existence of the Indus Valley Civilization.

The city of Harappa was divided into a citadel and a lower town. The citadel was smaller but higher and was located on the west than the lower town located on the east. The citadel comprised granaries, religious buildings, public buildings and assembly halls while the lower town was divided in rectangular sections cut by wide roads at right angles to each other.
