Harappa Civilization

Planned Cities in Harappa

Mohenjo-dharo and Harappa were the planned cities. They were the two biggest cities, 600 km apart. They had similar planning, layout and technique in construction. They were probably the twin capitals. Mohenjo-daro, means ‘the mound of the dead’. The city of Mohenjo-dato could be divided into three parts-the Citadel, the lower town arid the small huts on the outer limits of the city.

Great Bath



The "great bath" is without doubt the earliest public water tank in the ancient world. The tank itself measures approximately 12 meters north-south and 7 meters wide, with a maximum depth of 2.4 meters. Two wide staircases lead down into the tank from the north and south and small sockets at the edges of the stairs are thought to have held wooden planks or treads. At the foot of the stairs is a small ledge with a brick edging that extends the entire width of the pool. People coming down the stairs could move along this ledge without actually stepping into the pool itself.

Bull Seal



The majestic zebu bull, with its heavy dewlap and wide curving horns is perhaps the most impressive motif found on the Indus seals. Generally carved on large seals with relatively short inscriptions, the zebu motif is found almost exclusively at the largest cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.

Lenardo da Vinci Paintings

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15 1452 to May 2 1519) was a painter, sculptor, Italian polymath, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, botanist and writer.

Leonardo can be often described as a Renaissance man who can be equaled by his powers of invention. He is mostly considered as a great painter of all the times and perhaps the person with most scope and interest.

Below are some of the beautiful paintings of the Da Vinci which are admirable.
