Read the passage given below and answer the questions/ complete the statements that follow by choosing the correct options from the given ones.
Today we find ourselves at the height of our civilization, our technological development, and our social and material complexity. These are all sign of progress. And yet, all is not as it seems and once in a while it occurs to us to look into the past to discover our future.
Dholavira is among the two most notable excavations of the Indus Valley Civilisation or Harappan Civilisation, which existed about 4500 years ago. Another site easier to reach is Lothal, but it has shown signs of a pale education. Dholavira gives you that opportunity to observe how while being surrounded by the great desert of Kutch in a severe environment, the Harappan civilisation displays a unique understanding of the mind: Here we can find the earliest and the best in the world, a planned water conservation system.
Dholavira, locally known as Kotda (meaning a large fort), is one of the islands in the great desert of Kutch. Located in the north western corner of the Khadir Island, the city is spread over 100 hectares of semi-arid land. During the month when the rest of the desert is submerged by the monsoon, two water channels culvert near Dholavira. Mausar in the north and Manhar in the south. The journey to Dholavira is beautiful, taking you to the greatest desert salty plains, where you can find wildlife like chinkara gazelle, nilgai (blue bull, Asia’s largest antelope), flamingo and other bird life.
