Which was the prominent architectural feature of the Indus Valley towns and cities?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Citadel.
A prominent architectural feature of Indus Valley towns and cities was the citadel. Often located on a raised mound to the west, this smaller, higher area typically housed important public buildings like the Great Bath and granaries, and was often fortified with massive walls. While its exact purpose is debated (administrative, religious, or flood protection), its consistent presence across major sites like Mohenjo-daro and Harappa signifies a planned and organized urban layout, reflecting a sophisticated understanding of town planning.
