At LOTHAL a mould for manufacturing needles has been noticed. LOTHAL has also a needle with the hole at the working end. From the post-Harappa times down to the end of the Mauryan period needles conforming to the above definition are conspicuous by their absence. Sculptural remains at Sanchi, Sarnath and Mathura however reveal the evidence of stitched garments worn by foreign rulers and soldiers, thereby suggesting the continued use of needles. - [Previous: v1.c11.s15.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s15.1) - [Next: v1.c11.s15.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s15.3) - [Up: v1.c11.s15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s15) ## Linked texts (4) - [Harappā](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.harappa) - [Lothal](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.lothal) - [Sārnāth](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sarnath) - [Sāñcī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sanchi) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s15.2) · Pramāṇa
