Buddhist Ruins of Takht-i-Bahi and Neighbouring City Remains at Sahr-i-Bahlol

The Buddhist monastic complex of Takht-i-Bahi (Throne of Origins) was founded in the early 1st century. Owing to its location on the crest of a high hill, it escaped successive invasions and is still exceptionally well preserved. Nearby are the ruins of Sahr-i-Bahlol, a small fortified city dating from the same period.

The "Buddhist Ruins of Takht-i-Bahi and Neighbouring City Remains at Sahr-i-Bahlol" are remains of a famous Buddhist monastery and a fortified city. It consists of numerous chapels and stupas sticking to the high, rocky spurs. They date from the 1st century CE. The complex is regarded by archaeologists as being particularly representative of the architecture of Buddhist monastic centers from its era. 

Takht means "throne" and bahi, "water" or "spring" in Persian/Urdu. The monastic complex was called Takht-i-Bahi because it was built atop a hill and also adjacent to a stream.

Takht-I-Bahi was unearthed in the early 20th century. Much of the friezes and statuary were removed between 1907 and 1913.
