'Daimabad', a Harappan site, is located in which state?
Maharashtra
The question asks about the modern state in which the Harappan site of Daimabad is located.
Daimabad is situated on the left bank of the Pravara River in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra.
It is the southernmost site of the Indus Valley (Harappan) Civilisation discovered so far.
Daimabad is especially famous for its bronze artefacts, including the celebrated bronze figures of a chariot, an elephant, a rhinoceros and a buffalo.
These bronze objects show the technical skill of the Harappan people in metal casting.
Haryana (Rakhigarhi), Punjab (Ropar) and Gujarat (Lothal, Dholavira) also have Harappan sites, but Daimabad specifically lies in Maharashtra.
Hence, the Harappan site of Daimabad is located in Maharashtra.
