Which of the following sites of the Indus Valley civilization is not on the bank of the river Indus?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ropar.

Ropar, as it is located on the banks of the Sutlej River, not the Indus.

Other options:

  1. Mohenjodaro – Situated on the Indus River, it was one of the largest cities of the Indus Valley Civilization.

  2. Chanhudaro – Located near the Indus River, it was a major center for carnelian beads.

  3. Kot-Diji – Found near the Indus River, it served as a pre-Harappan and Harappan settlement.

Ropar (now Rupnagar, Punjab) was an Indus Valley site but was established along the Sutlej, a tributary of the Indus, making it the only option not directly on the Indus River.
