It is one of the largest Harappan sites outside Pakistan. Lothal was excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India between 1955 and 1960. The site was occupied from about 2400 to 1900 BCE.<\/p>\n<p>Lothal was a major port city and a center of trade and commerce. The city was well-planned and had a sophisticated drainage system. Lothal is also known for its terracotta figurines and its bead industry.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they are not the districts that are home to the ancient port city of Lothal.
