History of Dholavira



Harappan civilization (3rd millennium BC) is one of the world's first great civilizations known for its advanced science, geometry, architecture, etc. Dholavira is one of the five largest and grandest Harappan sites and a prominent archaeological site in India. Located in an Island called Khadir in Kutch, this major Harappan city has a lot to offer.

Dholavira is a parallelogram/ rectangular stretch of land spread over 250 acres of land. The city was well guarded and had three principal divisions i.e the Citadel, the middle town and the lower town. One of the most striking features of this town is advanced hydraulic engineering. The inhabitants of Dholavira created sixteen or more reservoirs completely built out of stone and had steps to reach the water level. This enabled them to pass several years without rainfall in wake of the desert climate and conditions of Kutch.

A variety of antiques were found from Dholavira. These varies from a number of seals and sealing, beads of semi precious stones, gold, copper, shell, terracotta etc. Gold, Silver, Copper, Shell and terracotta ornaments were in use at that time.

Although their language hasn’t yet been deciphered, it is believed to have had about 400 basic signs, with many variations. One other remarkable discovery is the Dholavira Signboard. The Harappans had arranged and set pieces of the mineral gypsum to form ten large symbols or letters on a big wooden board. The board fell flat on its face, the wood decayed, but the arrangement of the letters survived. The signs and their arrangement led scholars to believe that the Dholaviran script represents full literacy.

This infamous historical place was remarkably ahead of its time and is definitely worth a visit.
