Coins from some centres of the Indus Valley Civilization dating from 3300 BC to 1700 BC have been found in Pakistan, in which images of common yoga postures or meditative postures are depicted, which shows a form of religiosity and claims to be the Siddha of yoga. Early Jain religious literature like Acharangasutra and scriptures like Niyamasara, Tattvarthasutra contained many references to yoga. It treats yoga as a way of life for laymen and ascetics.
