Explanation

The characteristic Harappan urban layout with a raised citadel (for elites/rituals) and lower town (for residents) is found at Harappa, Mohenjodaro, and Kalibangan. Surkotada had a different layout without this clear bipartite division. This pattern reflects Harappan urban planning principles.
