What to Focus On

  • Sculpture = carving figures/designs on stone, wood, or metal using chisel and hammer
  • Architecture = art of construction; Sanskrit word is 'Vastu'
  • Together, sculpture and architecture express civilization's beliefs, emotions, and social structure
  • Indus Valley towns were divided into three sections: Citadel, Administrative quarter, and Common people's area
  • Mohan-Jo-Daro discovered in 1922 by Rakhal Das Banerji and Dayaram Sahni
  • Roads were 9.75 metres wide, straight, crossing at right angles
  • Stupa = oval dome housing Buddha's relics; Ashoka built 5 famous stupas
  • Parts of stupa: Harmika, Medhi, Pradakshina Path, and Toran
  • Sanchi Stupa — oldest Buddhist stupa, originally made of bricks

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mohan-Jo-Daro and Harappa are two separate civilizations discovered at the same time by the same person.

The Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath has four lions facing four directions, and this image is used directly as India's National Flag symbol.

Stupa is simply a temple where Buddhists worship, similar to a Hindu temple.
