Detailed explanation-1: -Surkotada, Lothal, and Dholavira are the important port towns in the Indus valley. Harappa, Mohanjodaro, Banawali and Dholavira are considered as the four main Harappan Sites.
Detailed explanation-2: -i) Each city was divided into two parts-the raised area called the ‘Citadel’ and the ‘lower town. ‘ ii) The main streets followed a grid pattern running from north to south or from east to west. iii) The houses at street corners were rounded to allow carts to pass easily.
Detailed explanation-3: -Detailed Solution. Harappa is located in part of Punjab located in Pakistan. The part of Punjab located in Pakistan is not a part of India so Harappa is not in India. Harappa was the first city to be discovered by excavation and therefore the Indus Valley civilization is also known as ‘Harappan Civilization’.
