Lothal
N/A
Lothal. A place so important and beautiful in history. The museum is closed for renovation, should take at least a year as per local guards. The site is still open to visit Very deep inside village, you should probably brought your own vehicle or hire one A guide would make this even important by making people understand what the artefact or the scriptures are It should be long journey, you’ll also get to see green and beautiful farms as well

Lothal is believed to be 3,700 years old and is the only major port-town of the IVC, discovered so far. Remarkably, Lothal is home to what is believed to be one of the oldest docks in the world. First discovered in 1954, Lothal was excavated from 1955-1960 by S R Rao of the Archaeological Survey of India. Interestingly, the name ‘Lothal’ comes from the local name of the place, roughly translated to ‘Mound of the Dead’ in Gujarati; Mohenjo-daro, 670 km from Lothal, means the same in Sindhi. The site itself is small, at 7 hectares, and is 18 times smaller than Mohenjo-daro. It displays many of the features that make the Harappan Civilization distinct, like the division of the town into two sections – the Upper Town and Lower Town – and advanced town planning. What really sets Lothal apart is its dock. At the northern end of the town is a basin with a vertical wall, an inlet and outlet channels. This has been identified as a ‘tidal dockyard’. The basin exhibits a remarkable knowledge of hydraulics and tides, which further supports the assumption that this was a dock and not an irrigation tank, as some archaeologists contend. Archaeologists have also identified the remains of stone anchors, marine shells and seals, which can be traced to the Persian Gulf. These, along with a structure identified as a warehouse, strongly suggest that Lothal was a port with a dock. DidYouKnow: Lothal is one of the many sites in Gujarat. During the exploration in 1950s by the Archaeological Survey of India, many sites were found strewn across Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat, and 50 of them were concentrated in Gujarat alone! #worldheritage #indiantourism
Site is good for history lovers. But there is neither guide available nor the monumental things are labelled. So, it is very hard to fully understand the things. Moreover, museum was closed for repairs but no prior information was available on website.
If you love history. So this place for you. I think you should visit it one time. Also shoot photos here like no body will be take it once in his life..
The museum is closed for renovation and won't open for quiet a few months ... However the excavation site is really nice for people who are enthusiastic about it or leto visit such sites...
