Q. Consider the following statements regarding Jorwe Culture:

  2. The Jorwe pot is bright red in color and has a matte surface which has been wash treated.
Which of the above statements is / are correct?

Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: Statement 1 is incorrect; there is no established evidence linking the Jorwe culture with Proto-Ganesh worship. Statement 2 is also incorrect, as Jorwe pottery is typically red with a matte surface, not bright or shiny. Bright red, glossy pottery is a characteristic of the Harappan culture. Thus, neither statement is correct.
