Religion
01. The religion and belief system of the Indus valley
people have received considerable attention, especially
from the view of identifying precursors to deities and
religious practices of Indian religions that later developed
in the area.
02. Due to the scarcity of evidence, which is open to
varying interpretations, and the fact that the Indus script
remains un-deciphered, the conclusions are partly
speculative and largely based on a retrospective view
from a much later Hindu perspective.
03. One Indus valley seal shows a seated, figure with a
horned headdress, surrounded by animals, identified the
figure as an early form of the Hindu god Shiva (or
Rudra), who is associated with asceticism, yoga, and
linga; regarded as a lord of animals; and often depicted as
having three eyes. The seal has hence come to be known
as the Pashupati Seal, after Pashupati (lord of all
animals), an epithet of Shiva.

06. Two large doors lead into the complex from the south
and other access was from the north and east.
07. A series of rooms are located along the eastern edge of
the building and in one room is a well that may have
supplied some of the water needed to fill the tank.
08. Rainwater also may have been collected for these
purposes, but no inlet drains have been found.
09. Most scholars agree that this tank would have been
used for special religious functions where water was used
to purify and renew the well being of the bathers.
