Ganges Valley Civilization

The Ganges Valley Civilization was an ancient society that developed along the Ganges River in present-day India, around 1500 BCE. It was known for its rich culture, advanced cities, and contributions to religion and trade. The civilization played a key role in the rise of Hinduism and Buddhism, with the river serving as a vital resource for agriculture, transportation, and spiritual practices. Its society was organized with rulers, artisans, and farmers working together to sustain growth and stability. This civilization significantly influenced the cultural and religious landscape of South Asia and laid the groundwork for later Indian civilizations.
