In 1997, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Harappa” by Omar Khan (Net Based Art) with a Honorary Mention.
Harappa is a gateway to South Asia before 1947. The site has two main objectives. One is to start telling the story of the actual ancient city of Harappa and the civilizations of the Indus Valley, about which very little information is available outside scholarly circles.
