Which Harappan site has been declared India’s 40th UNESCO World Heritage Site ?
Dholavira
UNESCO inscribes sites of outstanding universal value on its World Heritage List. In July 2021, at the 44th session of the World Heritage Committee, the Harappan city of Dholavira in the Kutch district of Gujarat was inscribed, becoming India's 40th World Heritage Site, days after Ramappa Temple became the 39th.
Dholavira, located on Khadir Bet island in the Rann of Kutch, is known for its advanced water-conservation system of reservoirs, its three-part town plan and a signboard inscription in the Indus script.
Lothal (Gujarat) and Kalibangan (Rajasthan) are important Harappan sites but are not inscribed World Heritage Sites, and Mohenjo-daro is a World Heritage Site located in Pakistan, so it cannot be India's 40th.
Dholavira option is correct.
