Which one of the following animals was not represented on the seals and terracotta art of the Harappan culture?
A)
Cow
B)
Rhinoceros
C)
Elephant
D)
Tiger

Correct Answer : Option (A) - Cow



From the seals, terracotta figurines, and copper tablets we get an idea on the religious life of the Harappans. The chief male deity was Pasupati, (proto-Siva) represented in seals as sitting in a yogic posture with three faces and two horns. He is surrounded by four animals (elephant, tiger, rhino, and buffalo each facing a different direction). Two deer appear on his feet.
