The people of the Indus Valley believed in religion. They worshiped ‘Mother Goddess’. She was the female deity. No temples have been found.

The pipal tree was probably regarded as sacred and also worshiped people who wore amulets as lucky charms to ward off evil spirits. People also believed in life after death. They buried the dead together with items of daily use. Sometimes the cremated the dead and kept the ashes or bones in an urn along with that items.
