Chanhudaro

Chanhudaro was an important city of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, flourishing around 2500 BCE. Located in modern-day Pakistan, it was a key trading and craft center known for its skilled bead-making, shell ornaments, and pottery. Unlike larger cities like Mohenjo-Daro, Chanhudaro lacked a citadel but had well-planned streets and specialized workshops, showing advanced urban planning. The site provides valuable insights into the social and economic life of the Indus people, highlighting their craftsmanship, trade networks, and community organization. Today, it is an archaeological site that helps researchers understand early urban development in South Asia.
