RELIGIOUS WORSHIP
They worshipped nature in the form of animals, birds and trees....the humped bull and the peepal tree was held sacred.
Mother goddess was also worshiped. Seals bearing the three headed figure of a male god with close resemblance to Shiva have also been found. No temples were identified among the remains.
