The remains of the Great Bath have been found from the excavation at which of the following Harappan sites?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Mohenjodaro.

 

The remains of the Great Bath were discovered at the Mohenjo-daro site of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Mohenjo-daro, located in present-day Sindh, Pakistan, was one of the largest urban centres of the Harappan culture. The Great Bath is a large, rectangular, watertight structure made of baked bricks, measuring about 12 meters long, 7 meters wide, and 2.4 meters deep, and is believed to have been used for ritual bathing. Its sophisticated drainage system and water-tight construction reflect the advanced urban planning and engineering skills of the Harappan civilisation.
