             Unfortunately the majority of the evidence at Harappa has been destroyed by Òbrick-robbersÓ
             and has been rendered largely incoherent. Luckily, Mohenjo-daro has been better preserved
             and we can turn to it as a model in interpreting Harappa.At Mohenjo-daro, one of the most
             striking features is the presence of a remarkable complex of buildings centering on a great
             bath, Òbuilt of very fine brickwork,Ó nearly 40 by 24 feet across, and eight feet deep. Around this central bath was a cloister, and small Òchanging-roomsÓ on three sides (Piggott,
             163). If one considers the ÒtankÓ ancillary to every Hindu temple of the middle-ages, the
             Great Bath can easily be seen as a sacred site. Also present at Mohenjo-daro were two other
             outstanding architectural features: the Collegiate Building and the Pillared Hall. The
             Collegiate Building was a large building measuring 230 by 78 feet,with an arrangement of
             rooms suggesting a ÒcollegeÓ of some sort, and a cloistered court resembling that which
             surrounded the Great Bath. The Pillared Hall was located to the south of these buildings,
             and although much altered since itÕs original erection, it apparently once consisted of a
             Ònearly square hall about 80 feet each way, with a roof supported on twenty rectangular
             brickwork pillars,Ó (Piggott,164). These buildings have led archaeologists to conclude that
             Mohenjo-daro was once Òa centre of religious or administrative life on a significant scale,Ó
             (Piggott,164). The buildings of Mohenjo-daro followed normal Òoriental customÓ of the
             time, with the outside walls of the houses being as featureless as possible, save the
             presence of doorways (Malik, 83). Most of the buildings were either shops, houses, or a
             combination of both. The houses seem to have been built around a central courtyard, and on
             two or three sides were grouped rooms of varying sizes -- including bat...
