Lothal Attractions

Lothal is an important archeological site that was discovered in 1954. This prominent city stood on this spot over 4,500 years ago and featured a street pattern, brickwork and a drainage system. Lothal is considered India's most important archeological site from that era.

Lothal was a thriving trade center with one of the world's earliest docks. Trade included beads, gems and valuable ornaments that stretched as far as West Asia and Africa.

Excavations have unearthed a mound, a township, a marketplace and the dock.

At the site, the archeological museum displays intricate seals, weights, jewelry, pots and other items that were excavated from this settlement at Lothal. An unusual discovery was two bodies found in a single grave. Several of these instances show that double burial was a common feature among the people of Lothal.
