उत्तर

  • Location: The Great Granary was found in Harappa, a significant city of the Indus Valley Civilization (now Pakistan).
  • Structure: The structure consisted of a big rectangular building built of burnt bricks, with smaller rectangular chambers or rooms. The structure was constructed on a high platform to protect the stored grain from floods and pests.
  • Purpose: The Great Granary stored surplus grains received by farmers, including wheat and barley. This shows that humans in the Indus Valley conducted organized agriculture and trading.
  • Significance: The Great Granary represents a well-organized economy with a centralized authority overseeing food supply and storage.
