Bhamala Stupa, Buddhist stupa and archaeological complex near Khanpur, Pakistan.
The Bhamala Stupa features a cruciform design with staircases in four directions and nineteen small votive stupas in its courtyard.
Archaeological excavations at Bhamala Stupa began in 1929 under Sufian Malik and John Marshall, continuing through the early 1930s before resuming in 2017.
The site contains a 1,700-year-old statue depicting Buddha reaching enlightenment, marking a significant period in Buddhist architectural development.
Visitors need to arrange private transportation from Taxila, as the site stands 90 minutes from the center with limited public transit options.
The main stupa structure represents the largest surviving cruciform design in the Taxila and Gandhara regions of Pakistan.
