Remains of a bathroom complex from Lothal, site of Sarasvati-Sindhu civilization around 2500 BCE..


Flush toilet from Mohenjo Daro site of Sarasvati-Sindhu or Harappan civilization around 2500 BCE. When most part of the world (including other regions of India) lived as hunter gatherers in caves & jungles, the SSC had such an advanced sanitary system..

Pipe drainage system from Dholavira site of Sarasvati-Sindhu or Harappan civilization. Perhaps this is 1 of the earliest example of pipe in the world. Clearly Sarasvati-Sindhu civilization was far ahead of most regions of world where people lived as nomads or as hunter-gatherers.
