Dholavira
The ancient site of Dholavira (23°53' N; 70°13' E), taluk Bhachau,
district Kachchh, in state Gujarat, lies in the northwestern area of the -island of Kbadir
which; it turn, is strongly isolated by the cheerless and barren salt waste of the great
Rann of Kachchh. Lying of the north of the village, the ancient settlement is embraced
by two rainwater channels namely, the Manhar in the south and Mansar in the north.
Originating in the low chain of hills running along the northern edge, both descend
through a short course into the Rann, in the west.
