<P> In 1950 , Sir Mortimer Wheeler identified one large building in Mohenjo - daro as a `` Great Granary '' . Certain wall - divisions in its massive wooden superstructure appeared to be grain storage - bays , complete with air - ducts to dry the grain . According to Wheeler , carts would have brought grain from the countryside and unloaded them directly into the bays . However , Jonathan Mark Kenoyer noted the complete lack of evidence for grain at the `` granary '' , which , he argued , might therefore be better termed a `` Great Hall '' of uncertain function . Close to the `` Great Granary '' is a large and elaborate public bath , sometimes called the Great Bath . From a colonnaded courtyard , steps lead down to the brick - built pool , which was waterproofed by a lining of bitumen . The pool measures 12 metres ( 39 ft ) long , 7 metres ( 23 ft ) wide and 2.4 metres ( 7.9 ft ) deep . It may have been used for religious purification . Other large buildings include a `` Pillared Hall '' , thought to be an assembly hall of some kind , and the so - called `` College Hall '' , a complex of buildings comprising 78 rooms , thought to have been a priestly residence . </P>
