The Indus Civilization c5.31

- **Language:** English

### [c5.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.31)

It is not yet certain whether the round column was ever used at Mohenjo-daro. In large rooms one or more pillars of burnt brick have often been found that once supported a roof. Only one tapering pillar has come to light, measuring three feet square at the base and narrowing to two feet six inches at the top; all the rest are either square or rectangular in section and the same size all the way up.
