Dholavira: Capsules of Harappan-Era Time

Ahmedabad: Dholavira is not your usual tourist destination – located about 213 km northeast Bhuj, he only has one road that connects it to the mainland.
Regular days do not watch a lot of hustle and bustle except occasional buses or private vehicles.
Add a hot and dry climate into the mixture, and you get a site that is about 5,000 years on it but it only attracts those who are truly interested in history and archeology.
However, once someone was in the middle of the stone wall, the feeling was amazed.
It is a crowded city that rose around 3000BC and decreased by around 1800BC, there for more than 1,200 years, witnessing the resurrection and fall of civilization Harappan.
It has a drainage system, water reservoir, obsession compliance with ratios and symmetry, trade of some of the best corals and agate with distant nations, and above all, ‘signs’ comprehensive – literally! When the city of Harappan was tagged in the UNESCO World Heritage Site coveted on Tuesday, many in the Indian archaeological survey and from history and the brotherhood of archaeological was celebrated.
India has presented the site for the first time in 2014 to become UNESCO, which peaked after seven years of documentation and representatives of the site and its unique features.
Dr.
Y S Rawatt, which was associated with the excavation of the site for 13 years, said the site in a way that peeked into interconnected cities in Harappa, but also functions as time capsules for the era.
“We see one of the first proof of the pulley block system in the well in the lower city area here.
We know that they have trade abroad when their conditions are profitable, in carnelian and ivory, among others, the drainage system and toilets outside their homes show increased engineering level, “he said.
“Some traditions – the use of ivory bracelets and home design, open area between homes and gates – has been done in the community living in this region for a long time.” Experts show that it is one of the era Harappan sites that can give a ‘taste’ of a site because most are still intact.
Exactly from the entrance to the height of the ‘top city,’ and the wall limit to the water reservoir, most features can be experienced, making it a unique site from the era of Harappan.
