On the banks of which river was the Harappan site of 'Harappa' discovered in 1920-22?
Ravi
Harappa is one of the earliest and most important sites of the Indus Valley (Harappan) Civilisation.
It was discovered during excavations in 1920-22, work associated with Daya Ram Sahni under the Archaeological Survey of India.
The site of Harappa is located on the banks of the river Ravi, in the Montgomery (now Sahiwal) district of present-day Punjab, Pakistan.
Therefore the Ravi is the correct answer.
The Ganga did not host the Harappa site; the Ganga plains are associated with later Vedic and historical settlements, so it is incorrect.
The Luni is a river of Rajasthan and is not connected with the site of Harappa, so it is wrong.
The Yamuna is linked with other sites but not with Harappa itself, so it is also incorrect.
The Harappan site of Harappa was discovered on the banks of the river Ravi.
