{{quotebox|align = right|width=21em|Dholavira adds a new dimension to the personality of the Indus civilisation, says Dr. Ravindra Singh Bisht, The city of Dholavira in its fullest form was a precisely proportionate whole and a proportionately resolved configuration, which followed a resolute set of principles of planning and architecture with mathematical precision and perhaps with astronomically established orientation.[3]}}
