Banbhore, Archaeological site in Sindh, Pakistan
The ruins of Banbhore spread across the northern bank of Gharo creek, containing fortified walls, bastions, gateways, and residential structures from ancient times.
The settlement evolved through three periods: Scytho-Parthian from 1st century BCE, Buddhist from 2nd century CE, and Islamic from 8th century CE.
The archaeological complex includes an early mosque established in 727 CE, representing the initial spread of Islamic architecture in the Indian subcontinent.
Visitors can explore the on-site museum displaying artifacts, pottery, coins, and inscriptions discovered during excavations conducted since 1958 at Banbhore.
Recent excavations uncovered the largest ancient ivory workshop discovered globally, containing over 40 kilograms of ivory fragments from elephant tusks.
