Which was the first Indus Valley site to be discovered?
(A) Kalibangan
(B) Harappa
(C) Mohenjodaro
(D) Lothal
The correct answer is (B) Harappa. Harappa was the first site of the Indus Valley Civilisation discovered and dug up in 1921. Since it was the first site found, the whole culture is often called the Harappan Civilisation.
Following Harappa, Mohenjodaro was found in 1922. Other significant sites like Kalibangan in Rajasthan and Lothal in Gujarat were dug up years later, in the 1950s.
