    Question

    In Harappa, the granary had rows of ________ brick platforms for threshing the grains.

    A.

    spherical

    B.

    circular

    C.

    rectangular

    D.

    diagonal

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) circular.
    · In the ancient city of Harappa, part of the Indus Valley Civilization, archaeologists found granaries that featured circular brick platforms.
    · These platforms were likely used for threshing grains and may have served as a base to store harvested crops before processing.
    · The circular design facilitated various grain-handling processes and might have helped in storage and ventilation, reducing spoilage.
    Additional Information:
    · Granary Structure: The Harappan granaries, discovered during excavations, are among the earliest examples of organized grain storage in history. The circular platforms are particularly notable, as they were an efficient way to stack and store grain sacks.
    · Location and Layout: These granaries were often strategically placed near rivers, allowing easy transport of grains and other goods by water.
