Peshawar District, Administrative district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
The district stretches along the western banks of the Bara River, featuring agricultural plains and low hills near the historic Khyber Pass entry point.
The region developed from the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Gandhara, with Sanskrit texts mentioning its importance as Purusapura dating back to 539 BCE.
The district contains numerous Buddhist architectural remains, including the remnants of Kanishka stupa at Shahji-ki-Dheri, marking its significance in religious evolution.
Multiple highways and railways connect the district to major Pakistani cities, facilitating trade through established routes to Afghanistan and Central Asia.
The Qissa Khwani Bazaar, a traditional marketplace, maintains centuries-old trading practices of wool products, dried fruits, and handcrafted items.
