Explanation
Kalibangan in Rajasthan yielded evidence of a ploughed field from its early Harappan levels, with two sets of furrows at right angles to each other — archaeologists interpret this as two different crops (likely mustard and gram) grown together. Dholavira, Rakhigarhi and Kunal have not yielded this distinctive ploughed-field evidence. Hence the town is Kalibangan.
