Detailed Solution

Mohenjodaro was abandoned in 1900 BC.
The Great Bath was mostly used for religious events, but bathing was also done there. They might have used this for religious observance even though there is no indication of a temple anywhere. Some people were not even permitted to enter the Great Bath because they were penniless or thought to be unclean. Compared to other ancient sites, Mohenjodaro has an astonishing 700 wells. There were many wells at Mohenjodaro. As a result, the locals depended significantly on the yearly rains. Brick walls were then constructed in the shape of circles to create the wells. There is one well for every three households in Mohenjodaro. It was necessary to clean the pipes, and either slaves or captured enemy soldiers did it. Around 1900 BCE, Mohenjodaro was abandoned.
