Seri Bahlol

The ruins contain multiple stupas, monastic cells, and courtyards positioned along rocky spurs at an elevation of 150 meters above ground level.

Established during the reign of Gondophares in the 1st century CE, the monastery remained active until the 7th century through the Kushan period.

The architectural remains demonstrate the methods of Buddhist monastery construction using local stone combined with lime and mud mortar techniques.

The site maintains different entry fees, with local visitors paying 20 PKR while international tourists are charged 500 PKR for admission.

Two ancient wells or springs at the complex foundation contributed to its name interpretation as the throne of origin.
