}}Ganweriwala ({{lang-ur| {{nastaliq| گنویريوالا}}}} {{lang-pa|{{nastaliq|گنیریوالا}}}}) is an Indus Valley Civilization site in Punjab, Pakistan.[7]

Facts

Ganweriwala is situated near the Indian border on the dry river bed of the Ghaggar-Hakra, now a part of vast desert. It is spread over 80 hectares and comparable in size with the largest sites of the Indus Valley Civilization, such as Mohenjo-daro. But it is not excavated and only identified and it may turn up as top five largest towns of Indus Valley Civilisation.[8]

Significant finds

Although excavation is yet to begin in this site, a stray find of a terrecotta tablet is a significant find. In this seal, a cross legged person (suggested as yogic posture) and a kneeling person below a tree and upon a tree are depicted.[9] Such kneeling persons on tree, particularly in front of a tiger like animal, are shown in tablets or seals found at Harappa (H 163 a), Mohenjadaro (M 309 a) and Kalibangan (K 49a).[9]

More recently Sidra Gulzar and Asko Parpola discovered an inscribed tablet from Ganweriwala that may ultimately help to solve the riddle of the Indus Valley script. Despite its degraded condition, one can see the horn of the missing “unicorn bull" to the bottom right, plus seven signs of the Indus script.[10][11]

Importance

It is equidistant from Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, situated in between these two ancient cities. In this aspect, the excavation may provide more information about this ancient civilisation.[8]
