Harappa.


....!! Beautiful Place  





It is situated at a distance of about 25 km from Sahiwal. It is said that river Ravi in those days flowed nearby that place.Two kinds of buildings have been found in Harappa, one built of mud and the other of baked bricks.





The houses had doors but no windows. Some houses were big and some small. The big houses had a wall around them. Government buildings were built separately. These contained big halls which were perhaps used as State granaries.....!!




The life-style of the people of Harappa was similar to that of the people of Moen-jo-Daro. Harapa was also a five thousands years old city. Both these cities were destroyed about three thousands years back. Their destruction was mainly due to Aryan invasion......!!
