Verified by Experts

The most striking of the Great Bath in the citadel area of Mohenjodaro are as follows:
(i) It was a great rectangular tank in a courtyard that was surrounded by corridor on all four sides.
(ii) There were two flights of steps on the north and south leading into the tank, which was made watertight by setting bricks on edge and using a mortar of gypsum.
(iii) There were rooms on three sides, in one of which was a large well to fill the pool with water. After periodic cleaning of the tank, the water was discharged into a huge drain.
(iv) Across a lane to the north lay a smaller building with eight bathrooms, four on each side of a corridor with drains that ran along the corridor.
