Dholavira: A Harappan City
Dholavira is an archaeological site that contains ruins of an ancient Indus Valley Civilization/Harappan city.
The fortified city flourished between 3000 and 1800 BCE. It had an efficient water conservation system. Unlike Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, the city was constructed to a pre-existing geometrical plan consisting of three divisions – the citadel, the middle town, and the lower town.
