PAKISTAN
GROUP 1 PRESENTATION
 PAKISTAN ARCHITECTURE:
Presentation by GROUP 1

Pakistani architecture has four recognized periods:

Pre-Islamic,
Islamic,
Colonial,
and Post-colonial.
With the beginning of the Indus civilisation around the middle of the 3rd
millennium BCE, an advanced urban culture developed for the first time
in the region, with large buildings, some of which survive to this day.

Mohenjo Daro
Mohenjo-daro, also
spelled Mohenjodaro or Moenjodaro, group of mounds
and ruins on the right bank of the Indus River,
northern Sindh province, southern Pakistan.
It lies on the flat alluvial plain of the Indus, about 50
miles (80 km) southwest of Sukkur.
The site contains the remnants of one of two main centres of the ancient Indus
civilization (c. 25- 00–1700 BCE), the other one being Harappa, some 400 miles (640
km) to the northwest in Pakistan’s Punjab province.
The name Mohenjo-daro is reputed to signify “the mound of the dead.” The
archaeological importance of the site was first recognized in 1922, one year after the
discovery of Harappa.
 Kot Diji
The origins of Kot Diji are recognized as
belonging to the early Harappan period, which
dates to about 3500 BCE.
Kot Diji, archaeological site located near an
ancient flood channel of the Indus River in
Pakistan, 15 miles (25 km) south of the city of
Khairpur in Sindh province.

The site, which is adjacent to the modern town of Kot Diji, consists of a stone rubble
wall, dating to about 3000 BCE, that surrounds a citadel and numerous residences, all of
which were first excavated in the 1950s.
The origins of Kot Diji are recognized as belonging to the early Harappan period,
which dates to about 3500 BCE.
 Harappa
Harappa is an archaeological site in Punjab,
Pakistan, about 24 km (15 miles) west of
Sahiwal.
The Bronze Age Harappan civilisation, now
more often called the Indus Valley Civilisation, is
named after the site, which takes its name from
a modern village near the former course of the
Ravi River, which now runs 8 km (5.0 mi) to the
north.
The ancient city of Harappa was heavily damaged under British rule, when bricks
from the ruins were used as track ballast in the construction of the Lahore–Multan
Railway.

PAKISTAN ARTS:
Page 09
 TRUCK ART
Truck painting is a popular form of
indigenous art in Pakistan and features
floral patterns and poetic calligraphy on
locomotives including trucks, buses and
vans.
Across Pakistan, brightly colored flamboyant trucks, painted with images of idealized
landscapes, famous personalities, flowers, and trees, turned village lanes, city streets, and
long-distance highways into a gallery without walls; a free-form, kaleidoscopic exhibition in
motion.

 POTTERY
Pottery here is a living history, a
traditional craft that became an art, with
its origins going back to 3,000 years B.C.
Today each region of Pakistan claims its
own special jars and jugs of a variety of
colours and patterns.
Clay Pottery in Pakistan is also called Kashi Kari. People from all over the
world have identified this form of art and wish to even have at least one
piece for decoration purposes in their homes.
