Explanation:

The most commonly found figurine is that of a female deity who has generally been identified with “the Mother Goddess”. Side by side with the worship of the Mother Goddess, the worship of a male-God “Shiva Pashupati” was also very popular. In one particular seal he is shown with three visible faces seated in a Yogic posture and with animals on each side; tiger and elephant on the right and buffalo and rhinoceros on its left, with horned deer appearing under the seat.
The people of that civilization used homespun cotton for weaving their garments. The people would spin cotton at home to make yarn and finally garments. Fragments of woven cotton have also been found at these sites.
