Lothal harbour
Lothal was a city of the
Indus Valley civilization situated 450 miles South-East of
Mohenjo Daro. Cemeteries have been found in Lothal which indicate that its people were of Proto-Australoid and
Mediterranean physiques. One of the graves in this cemetery has a man burried along with his wife, possibly the earliest known practice of
Sati.
After the core of the Indus Valley civilization had decayed in Mohenjo Daro and Harappa, Lothal seems not only to have survived but to have thrived for many years to come.
