DIndra
Correct Answer: The Mother GoddessYour Answer: B

Terracotta female figurines led many earlier scholars to infer widespread Mother Goddess worship in Harappan religion. The interpretation is not certain because the script remains undeciphered, but Mother Goddess is the conventional examination answer; the clearly Vedic deities in the other choices are not securely attested.
