9 Facts You Must Know About Mohenjo Daro Before Watching The Film

2. The people in the Indus Valley Civilisation did not dress up in slits or feathery headgear

Ladies in the Indus Valley Civilisation did not look like Mohenjo Daro’s Pooja Hegde. Dr. Anita Rane-Kothare tells us that the attire of the Indus Valley Civilisation is being continued in some tribal communities today as well. “According to archaeological evidence like ‘the dancing girl’ statue it is speculated that they wore bangles from their upper arm. They might be nude till the waist, however the nudity was covered with jewellery. For men, they must have been wearing a toga kind of a thing because a statue of a ‘Bearded Man’ shows the same. The Pashupati seal which was discovered also shows that they wore horned headgear.” Now, Gowariker’s got that one thing right.

    Recently several articles have appeared which state that Mohanjodado and Harappa were a part of the much widely spread SARASWATI Culture which also included DholaVira, Lothal etc. All these declined because the river Saraswati dried up due to geological changes.
    Mohanjodado happened to be discovered earlier.
    What does Dr. Rane Kothare say about this?

    Today a small stream is shown as the river Saraswati at the Holy Place Prabhas Patan in the Kathiawar part of Gujarat.
