Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Mohenjodaro, one of the major urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization, is located on the bank of the Indus River in present-day Sindh, Pakistan.

  • The city was built around 2500 BCE and is famous for its advanced urban planning, drainage systems, and architecture.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) Ravi: River Ravi flows in Punjab, but Mohenjodaro is not on its bank.
  • (C) Beas: A tributary of the Sutlej in Punjab, not related to Mohenjodaro.
  • (D) Sutlej: Another river in Punjab, unrelated to the site.

Hence, Mohenjodaro is situated on the Indus River.
