Select the answer from the codes given below:
Answer: Option D. -> 1, 2 and 3
Answer: (d)
The burial practices and the rituals related to them have been a very important aspect of religion in any culture. However, in this context Harappan sites have not yielded any monument such as the Pyramids of Egypt or the Royal cemetery at Ur in Mesopotamia.
The dead were buried with a varying number of earthen pots. In some graves, the dead were buried along with goods such as bangles, beads, copper mirrors. This may indicate that the Harappans believed in life after death.
The location of the cemetery was at Kalibangan in the west-south-west of the citadel mound; Lothal at the south-western corner of the habitation; at Surkotada north-western corner of the habitation mound; at Rupar on the western side of the settlement; at Harappa on the south of the citadel; at Rakhigarhi on the north of the habitation and at Dholavira towards the west of the habitation.
Probably, the location of the cemetery depended on the wind direction so that polluted air of the symmetry could be avoided.
