Which of the following characterizes/characterize the people of Indus Civilization?<br/>1. They possessed great palaces and temples.<br/>2. They worshipped both male and female deities.<br/>3. They employed horse-drawn chariots in warfare.<br/><br/>Select the correct statement/statements using the codes given below:

1. They possessed great palaces and temples — Incorrect. Indus cities show advanced urban planning, granaries and public structures like the Great Bath, but no clear evidence of grand palaces or large temples.

2. They worshipped both male and female deities — Correct. Terracotta female figurines suggest mother-goddess worship, and seals like the so-called Pashupati seal indicate a male deity.

Hence, only statement 2 is correct.
