Answer» Yes, there are common features that can be found in the social, economic and religious life, of our town/village and Harappan Civilization. Similar to us, the Harappan men and women used to decorate themselves with ornaments like necklaces, fillets, armless, finger- rings, bangles, ear-rings and nose-studs. They also used cosmetics and perfumes. They also played Marbles, balls and dice, as recreational sports. They also enjoyed to watch bull-fight, similar to us watching cricket or football. Even their children played with dolls made of clay and wood or metal. The main occupation of Harappanas was agriculture and rearing domestic animals. They also carried trade with other civilizations. Just like us they were interested in art and architecture. They made clay idols of Mother Goddess. Beautiful artifacts like the copper figurine of a dancing girl and the head of a bearded man made of stone were found while excavating Harappan sites. Just like us they were religious people and worshipped Pashupati and performed fire-rituals. They also has a unique script which is yet to be deciphered. |
