Explanation

Chanhudaro in present-day Sindh, Pakistan, was the only Indus Valley city exclusively dedicated to craft production, with extensive evidence of bead-making workshops. Archaeologists have found bead-making tools, raw materials, and finished beads in large quantities. Kalibangan was known for fire altars, Ganeriwala remains largely unexcavated, and Surkotada was a smaller settlement.
