Which of the following pairs of a Harappan site and its present-day location is correctly matched ?
Dholavira – Gujarat, India
The Harappan (Indus Valley) Civilisation spread over present-day Pakistan and north-western India, so its major sites now lie in different provinces and states.
Dholavira lies on Khadir Bet island in the Rann of Kutch, Kutch district, Gujarat. It is known for its water-reservoir system and a large signboard in the Indus script, and it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021. This pair is therefore correct.
Kalibangan is in Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan (not Sindh); Rakhigarhi is in Hisar district, Haryana (not Rajasthan); and Mohenjo-daro is in Larkana district, Sindh, Pakistan (not Haryana). Each of these pairs is wrong, and since one correct pair exists, 'None of the above' does not apply.
Dholavira – Gujarat, India option is correct.
