Social & Religious Life of Harappa Civilization Social Life: In Indus valley civilization, the society was divided into three distinct social groups. One group ruled and administered the city, the other group included the merchants who were associated with trade and other business activities in the city. The third group were the labourers who worked in the city. They also included the farmers who cultivated wheat and barley as their main crops. Men also seemed to have worn ornaments like fillets, necklaces, finger rings and armlets. Religious Life: Scholars are unable to draw a conclusion regarding the religion of Indus people. The Harappan religion was polytheistic. The bulk of public buildings in the city seemed to be solely oriented towards the economy and making life comfortable for the Harappans. However Historian John Keays in his book on Religion of Harappans countered this view. "Similar doubts surround the female terracotta figurines which are often described as mother goddesses.

Indus Valley Civilization The Indus Valley Civilization was an ancient civilization located in what is Pakistan and northwest India today, on the fertile flood plain of the Indus River and its vicinity. Evidence of religious practices in this area date back approximately to 5500 BCE. Farming settlements began around 4000 BCE and around 3000 BCE there appeared the first signs of urbanization. By 2600 BCE, dozens of towns and cities had been established, and between 2500 and 2000 BCE the Indus Valley Civilization was at its peak. The Life of the Indus Valley Civilization Two cities, in particular, have been excavated at the sites of Mohenjo-Daro on the lower Indus, and at Harappa, further upstream. The evidence suggests they had a highly developed city life; many houses had wells and bathrooms as well as an elaborate underground drainage system. There is evidence of some level of contact between the Indus Valley Civilization and the Near East. Decline of the Indus Valley Civilization
