Post-Harappan Culture

Post-Harappan Culture refers to the period in the Indian subcontinent that followed the decline of the Harappan (Indus Valley) Civilization around 1900 BCE. This era saw changes in settlement patterns, social structures, and cultural practices. People moved from urban centers to more rural and small village setups. New pottery styles, metalworking, and trade patterns emerged. Evidence shows interactions with neighboring cultures, leading to a blend of traditions. This period set the stage for the rise of later civilizations, including the Vedic culture, and played a significant role in shaping ancient Indian society.
