Scholars believe that Indus Valley people used granaries to store surplus agricultural produce. Granaries were large storage buildings designed to protect crops such as wheat, barley, rice, and other grains from pests, moisture, and theft. They were typically located in or near the cities and were essential for ensuring food security and the long-term storage of grains. The discovery of numerous granaries at various Indus Valley sites, such as Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, suggests that agriculture and food storage played a crucial role in their society and economy.
