Abstract	Since the Indus script came to light in 1922, researchers have been trying to decipher it. They assume that one of the later Indian languages could have been the successor to the Indus language and try to interpret the Indus script on this basis. However, there is still no generally recognised decipherment. The Indus characters consist of figures. The meaning of some of the figures can be recognised in the pictorial representations. The author endeavours to clarify the significance of the Indus sings using pictorial representations. A few figures on the tablets of Harappa may lead to an understanding of the Indus script.
