India history and geography
Source: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Architecture (1): Early and Classical Architecture (h)Kalibangan (Rajasthan) is an important archaeological site dating from the Harappan civilization.—Excavations at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro in 1921-22 marked the discovery of the Indus or Harappan civilization (2600–1900 BCE). Later discoveries include major sites like Kalibangan (Rajasthan), Lothal (Gujarat) and, in the last two decades, Dholavira (Gujarat), Bhirrana, Rakhigarhi and Farmana (all three in Haryana).
Harappan cities (e.g., Kalibangan) were planned, with the streets generally oriented along the cardinal directions. Houses were built with bricks of standardized proportions; some of the larger ones had at least an upper storey; roofs consisted of wooden structures covered with grass or leaves. Most houses had individual bathrooms connected to extensive drainage networks.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
