Which of the following sites would be suitable for observing the architecture of the Harappan civilisation?
Banawali
The correct answer is Banawali.
Banawali is an archaeological site located in the present-day state of Haryana, India. It is a significant site of the Indus Valley Civilization (also known as the Harappan Civilization). Extensive excavations at Banawali have revealed substantial remains of Harappan urban planning, architecture, including residential buildings, and other aspects of daily life during that period. This makes it a prime location for studying the architecture of the Harappan civilization. The other options are not associated with major Harappan settlements.
Sunabeda, Sanchi, and Valparai are historically and culturally significant sites, but they belong to different periods and civilizations. Sunabeda is associated with Odisha's history, Sanchi with Buddhist architecture from a later period, and Valparai with South Indian history. They do not offer the same insights into Harappan architecture that Banawali does.
