Explanation:

Rakhigarhi in Hissar, Haryana is now considered as the largest site of Indus Valley civilisation with many urban features (mature Harrapan site). The Drainage System of the Indus Valley Civilization was far advanced. The street drains had manholes at regular intervals. All soak pits and drains were occasionally cleaned by workmen. The Harrapans looked upon the earth as a fertility goddess and worshipped her. The Indus people were the earliest people to produce cotton. Because cotton was first produced in this area, the Greeks called it Sindon, which is derived from Sindh.
