An Indus Valley Civilization site of an urban center in the Punjab near border to India which was discovered in 1970’s. It is near a dry bed of River Hakra (Also known as Ghaggar or Sarasvati River).


Harappa Culture of Indus Valley grew out of earlier Village Culture of Baluchistan, NWFP, Sind, Punjab and Western India.


By 3000 BC hundreds of farming communities sprang up in Indus Valley. Helped by the annual flooding of the Indus and its tributaries communities grow different crops in the rich soil. The result of this development was the more advanced urban center than the Pre Harappa Towns of Kot Diji or Rehman Dheri. Until now five urban centers of Harappa Culture have been discovered; Harappa, Mohenjo Daro, Ganweriwala in Pakistan, Rakhigarhi and Dholavira in India. The ancient cite at Kot Diji was the forerunner of the Indus Civilization. ...


The site at Ganeriwala, 80 hectares in size, as large as Mohenjo Daro has not been excavated.
