Ancient Harappan site ‘Lothal’ was found in which state of India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Gujarat.

  • Lothal was one of the southernmost sites of the Indus Valley civilization, located in what is now the state of Gujarat.
  • The city's construction is said to have begun about 2200 BCE.
  • Lothal is situated between the Sabarmati and its tributary, the Bhogavo.
  • Exploration of the Sabarmati Valley in the mid-1950s resulted in the discovery of Lothal and many additional Harappan sites, adding a new region to the Indus civilization's scope.
