Which of the following characterizes/ characterize the people of Indus Civilization?

They possessed great palaces and temples.
They worshipped both male and female deities.
They employed horse-drawn chariots in warfare.

Select the correct statement/ statements using the codes given below.

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

No temples or religious places have been discovered in Harappan cities.

Figurines resembling a female deity have been found. They suggest the worship of Mother Goddess.

A seal with a male figure sitting in a yogic posture with a trident-like headgear, surrounded by animals, has been found. This has a lot of similarities with Shiva. From this, it is figured that the Harappans might be worshipping Shiva.

based on the Indus seals, it can be said that a large number of animals, including goats, buffaloes, oxen, elephants, dogs, and camels were domesticated.

But the Harappans seem not to have been familiar with the horse.
