**SHIKHER** tradition well established in chain of Himalayas Spiritual tradition right from **ice age**; thus building worship places at top of mountain 🏔️ is an well established ancient Indian tradition which made it compulsory to raise a mountain like Shiker at Dholavira as a place of worship and spiritual power for King Priest who had the palace adjacent to SHIKHER temple for Royal ceremonies & day to day Governance with designated ministers and expert counsellors.

Father of Yog Yantra Guru Datta-treya ( Rishi Atri) was author of 5th Chapter of Rig-Veda. Thus around 3333 BC Vedic & Yogic Tradition were contemporary and evolved hand in hand. The Veda is wriiten as Divisions and then as subdivided as Chapters thus when modified over times the Division & chapters remained same thereby it appears that Vedas were first remembered orally from 6000 BC and written around 4000 BC in Harappan script (when Saraswati was flowing well from Himalayas to Arabian sea) and seals later in 1500 BC it was rewritten in Sanskrit.

During period from 15000 B.C. to 9000 B.C. eurasian continent was covered with an ice of 1/2 to 2 km thick ice Sheet.

Peak of ice age was in the period from 14000 B.C. to 12000 B.C.

Europe – Russia – Siberia – Khazakhastan – Kirgizistan – Tajikhistan – Tibet – Mongolia – North China etc., were all covered with a sheet of ice and unfit for Human Settlements except for SIDDHAS & AVADHOOT ; general population lived in foothills and land around basins of mighty Indus and holy Saraswati. Saraswati was declared Holy as the Indus river turns and twist towards Saraswati and merges into Saraswati at the merger of both rivers near Island harbouring the holiest of holy site Dholavira.
