The ruins of Dholavira, an Indus Valley site in Gujarat, was named as a World Heritage Site in 2021.

Dholavira is a Harappan city located on the island of Khadir in the Kutch district of Gujarat. It is one of the most prominent and well-preserved urban settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization. Its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2021 highlights its outstanding universal value, representing the unique characteristics of the Harappan civilization in terms of urban planning, water management systems, and architecture.

Dholavira is the 40th UNESCO World Heritage Site in India. Other notable Indus Valley sites in Gujarat include Lothal and Surkotada, but Dholavira was the one inscribed in 2021. The site’s significance lies in its distinct features like a sophisticated water conservation system and the multi-layered settlement pattern.
