Consider the following pairs regarding Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) sites and the artifacts found at these locations:

S.No.	IVC Site	Artifact Found
1.	Kalibangan	Ploughed field
2.	Rakhigarhi	Evidence of horse bones
3.	Chanhudaro	Bead-making factory
4.	Banawali	Fire altars

How many pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• Kalibangan, located in Rajasthan, is known for providing evidence of the earliest ploughed field in the world. This site also has fire altars and a well-planned urban layout. Hence, Pair 1 is correct.
• Rakhigarhi, one of the largest IVC sites, has yielded evidence of a well-planned city, drainage systems, and artifacts like seals and pottery. However, horse bones are not a significant find at Rakhigarhi. Evidence of horses is more commonly associated with later periods, such as the Vedic Age. Hence, Pair 2 is incorrect.
• Chanhudaro, located in Sindh (Pakistan), is known for its bead-making factory and evidence of craft production, including shell-working and bangle-making. It was a center for craftsmanship during the Indus Valley Civilization. Hence, Pair 3 is correct.
• Banawali, located in Haryana, is known for its well-planned streets, houses, and evidence of barley cultivation. However, fire altars are not associated with Banawali. Fire altars are more prominently found at Kalibangan and Lothal. Hence, Pair 4 is incorrect.
