T
HE arts of the Indus Valley Civilisation emerged during
the second half of the third millennium BCE. The forms
of art found from various sites of the civilisation include
sculptures, seals, pottery, jewellery, terracotta figures, etc.
The artists of that time surely had fine artistic sensibilities
and a vivid imagination. Their delineation of human and
animal figures was highly realistic in nature, since the
anatomical details included in them were unique, and, in
the case of terracotta art, the modelling of animal figures
was done in an extremely careful manner.
The two major sites of the Indus Valley Civilisation, along
the Indus river—the cities of Harappa in the north and
Mohenjodaro in the south—showcase one of earliest examples
of civic planning. Other markers were houses, markets,
storage facilities, offices, public baths, etc., arranged in a
grid-like pattern. There was also a highly developed drainage
system. While Harappa and Mohenjodaro are situated in
Pakistan, the important sites excavated in India are Lothal
and Dholavira in Gujarat, Rakhigarhi in Haryana,
Ropar in Punjab, Kalibangan in Rajasthan, etc.
Stone Statues

in Harappan sites are not abundant, but refined. The

in red sandstone and the other is a bust of a bearded
man in soapstone—which are extensively discussed.
The figure of the bearded man, interpreted as a
priest, is draped in a shawl coming under the right
arm and covering the left shoulder. This shawl is
decorated with trefoil patterns. The eyes are a little
elongated, and half-closed as in meditative
concentration. The nose is well formed and of medium
