Dating back to the 6th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D., this ancient Buddhist complex is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Built during the 2nd century B.C., the monastery is adorned with intricate alto-reliefs, which are carved into the rock face.

The people of Punjab, Pakistan, and the surrounding regions have long been drawn to this sacred site. The monastery stands as a reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Eastern world, where Hindu, Buddhist, and Greco-influences converged to create a unique artistic and cultural legacy. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Pakistan and Asia, inviting viewers to explore the fascinating stories and traditions that have shaped the region.
