Dholavira is a small village located at a corner of an isolated island of Khadir in the Great Rann of Kachchh in Bhachau Taluka of Dist. Kachchh, Gujarat. The ancient site known as Kotada (large fort) spans an area of about 100 hectares nearly half of which is appropriated by the fortified settlement of the Harappans. The site is surrounded by two seasonal nallahs, Mansar in north and Manhar in south. As a result of the extensive excavations, Dholavira has emerged as a major Harappan city remarkable for its exquisite town planning, monumental structures, aesthetic architecture and amazing water management and storage system. Besides it has provided a long succession of rise and fall of the first Indian urbanization i.e. Harappan civilization. The site has a unique distinction of yielding an inscription often large sized signs of the Harappan script, indeed the oldest sign board of the world.
