A Correct answer
Explanation

In view of the large number of figurines found in the Indus Valley, some scholars believe that the Harappan people worshipped a Mother goddess symbolising fertility, a common practice among rural Hindus even today. However, there were no religious buildings or evidence of the same. If there were temples, they have not been identified.
