Question
The Harappan Civilization reveals the architectural skill of the people; Substantiate this statement by a brief mention of the following:
The Assembly Hall, the Citadel, and other Public Buildings.
Solution
The architectural skill of the Harappan people is revealed as under:
The Assembly Hall, the Citadel, and other Public Buildings: There were spacious buildings which must have been used as palaces or assembly halls. A pillared-hall with long corridors and low benches was perhaps used as an Assembly Hall or was the place where the ruler carried out ceremonial and administrative duties. The Citadel was possibly occupied by members of the ruling class. Of the other public buildings, something resembling a market place and the group of cottages, “marshaled like a military cantonment” deserve attention.
