Mature Harappan Culture

The Mature Harappan Culture was the peak phase of the Indus Valley Civilization, flourishing around 2600–1900 BCE. It is characterized by advanced urban planning, well-organized cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, sophisticated drainage systems, and standardized baked brick constructions. The society engaged in trade, had a script that remains partially undeciphered, and practiced agriculture, craft-making, and trading goods. This culture reflects a highly organized society with strong civic administration, reflecting growth in social complexity, technological skill, and cultural development during its time.
