Gujarat will have the chance to shine once more on the World Heritage Map thanks to UNESCO’s inclusion of Dholavira of Kutch in the list of World Heritage Sites in 2021. Gujarat now boasts the distinction of having four World Heritage Sites, thanks to the addition of Dholavira to the list. One of the two biggest Harappan sites in India, Dholavira is the fifth largest on the subcontinent. Similar to Lothal, it experienced every phase of the Harappan civilization between roughly 2900 and 1500 BC, but the majority of people only witnessed the early or late phases.
The Harappan-era city of Dholavira, located in the Kutch district of Gujarat, is one of the most prominent archaeological sites of the Indus Valley Civilization, dating back to around 3000 BCE to 1500 BCE. It is renowned for its advanced urban planning, elaborate water conservation systems, and well-organized drainage networks.
