Question
Mention the evidence which suggests that the Harappan people worshiped: The trees and animals.
Solution
Certain religious seals discovered are found to bear designs, which means that they worshiped trees and animals. They considered the Pipal tree sacred as it was a source of wisdom as they believed. Also, they worshiped the bull, the rhinoceros, the tiger, and the crocodile. The figure of a deity with a hooded cobra over its head and a worshiper on either side signifies that some form of Naga-worship was in fashion.
