Analyze the following features associated with the Indus Valley Civilization: 1. The city of Dholavira is unique for being divided into three principal parts rather than the customary two. 2. The cemetery designated as R-37 has been excavated at the site of Mohenjo-daro. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A. Only 1✓ Correct Answer
B. Only 2
C. Both 1 and 2
D. Neither 1 nor 2
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because Dholavira in Gujarat features a tripartite division comprising a citadel, a middle town, and a lower town, unlike standard Harappan layouts. Statement 2 is incorrect because the famous cemetery R-37 was discovered at the site of Harappa, not Mohenjo-daro. Mohenjo-daro is instead renowned for the Great Bath, the Bronze Dancing Girl, and the Collegiate Building.
