Dholavira, one of the finest urban centres of the Sindhu-Saraswati Civilization, has yielded what is regarded as the largest known stone sculpture from the entire civilization spread across the northwestern part of the Indian Subcontinent.

Found during the excavations near the Eastern Gate of the Castle, this large sculpture is more than just an artefact. It stands as living evidence of a sophisticated artistic tradition of stone sculpting that began over 4,500 years ago and has continued unbroken in India.

From such monumental works of the Indus-Saraswati era to the modern craft of stone sculpting, India has preserved and carried forward this civilizational thread.

Dholavira does not merely preserve the past, it affirms that the creative genius of the Sindhu-Saraswati Civilization continues to beat throughout India.
