Which of the following Harappan sites is unique for having a well-planned stadium or an enormous open-air theatre?
A. Mohenjo-daro
B. Harappa
C. Dholavira✓ Correct Answer
D. Kalibangan
💡 Solution & Explanation
Dholavira stands out among Indus Valley Civilization sites for its unique urban water management system and a massive multi-tiered stadium complex flanked by grand stone-cut seating tiers. Other prominent Harappan urban centers like Mohenjo-daro feature the Great Bath and granaries rather than a dedicated open-air theatre. Archaeological discoveries from Dholavira led to its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
