History of Taxila in urdu

Taxila is the most important Buddhist sites in Pakistan housing about 50 archeological remains from the 2nd century BC to 6th century AD. Taxila was discovered in 1911 - 1922 by Sir Joh Marshal who has been regarded as the discoverer of many other archeological sites including the Indus Civilization's Moen Jo Daro & Harrappa.

Taxila is situated 40 Kilometers away from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. As one drives to Peshawar on grand Trunk road just after Margala pass there is a sign of Taxila Remains on the right.
The archeological sites of Taxila include buildings and Buddhist stupas from 5th century to 6th century AD. The main ruins of Taxila are divided into three major cities, each belonging to a distinct time period.

The oldest of these is the Hathial area, which yielded surface shards similar to burnished red wares (or 'soapy red wares') recovered from early phases at Charsadda, and may date between the 6th century BCE and the late 2nd millennium BCE. Bhir Mound dates from the 6th century BCE. The second city of Taxila is located at Sirkap and was built by Greco-Bactrian kings in the 2nd century BCE. The third and last city of Taxila is at Sirsukh and relates to the Kushan kings.

간다라 문화의 전성기를 보여주는 또 다른 곳, 탁실라의 유적 중 하나인 시르캅이다. 시르캅은 박트리아의 그리스인들이 건설한 계획도시로 도시를 둘러싼 성곽의 길이가 5.5km에 달한다. 시르캅에서는 불교의 영향을 받은 스투파와 그리스의 헬레니즘 건축양식, 그리고 힌두문화까지 여러 종류의 다양한 문화가 혼재돼있다. “그리스문화, 힌두교, 태양숭배 등 모든 유적 문명이 함께 공존했던 이곳을 보니까 매우 흥미롭고 유익했어요” 오랜 전, 이렇게 거대한 도시를 건설한 것도 놀랍지만 무엇보다도 여러 문화와 종교가 화합한 것에 대해 정말 감탄스럽다.

Another highlight of Gandhara culture is Shirakab, one of the remains of Taksilla. Shirakp is a planned city built by the Greeks of Bactria, and the castle surrounding the city is 5.5 km long. In Shirakp, there are many different cultures, from Buddhist-influenced stupa to Greek Hellenistic style and Hindu culture. It was very interesting and beneficial to see here, where all the civilizations of Greece, Hinduism, sun worship, etc. coexisted. It was amazing to have built such a huge city long ago, but above all, I am truly impressed by the combination of cultures and religions.

گاندھارا ثقافت کی ایک اور خاصیت شیرکاب ہے، جو ٹیکسیلا کی باقیات میں سے ایک ہے. شیرکپ یونانیوں کے بیکٹیریا کی تعمیر سے ایک منصوبہ بندی والا شہر ہے، اور شہر کے ارد گرد محل 5.5 کلومیٹر طویل ہے. شیرکپ میں، متعدد مختلف ثقافتیں ہیں، جو بودہی سے متاثر ہوئے اسکوپ سے یونانی ہندنیسٹ سٹائل اور ہندو ثقافت میں ہیں. یہ بہت دلچسپ اور یہاں دیکھنے کے لئے فائدہ مند تھا، جہاں یونان، ہندوؤں، سورج کی عبادت وغیرہ وغیرہ کی تہذیبیں. ہمارا یہ بہت حیرت انگیز تھا کہ اس طرح کا ایک بہت بڑا شہر پہلے ہی ہے، لیکن سب سے بڑھ کر، میں واقعی ثقافتوں اور مذہبوں کے مجموعہ سے متاثر ہوں.

The city of Sirkap was built by the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius after he invaded ancient India around 180 BC. Demetrius founded in the northern and northwestern modern Pakistan an Indo-Greek kingdom that was to last until around 10 BC. Sirkap is also said to have been rebuilt by king Menander I.

The excavation of the old city was carried out under the supervision of Sir John Marshall by Hergrew from 1912-1930. In 1944 and 1945 further parts were excavated by Mortimer Wheeler and his colleagues.
The site of Sirkap was built according to the Hippodamian grid-plan characteristic of Greek cities. It is organized around one main avenue and fifteen perpendicular streets, covering a surface of around 1200x400 meters, with a surrounding wall 5–7 meters wide and 4.8 kilometers long. The ruins are Greek in character, similar to those of Olynthus in Macedonia.
Following its construction by the Greeks, the city was further rebuilt during the incursions of the Indo-Scythians, and later by the Indo-Parthians after an earthquake in 30 AD. Gondophares, the first king of the Indo-Parthian Kingdom, built parts of the city including the double headed eagle stupa and the temple of the sun god. The city was overtaken by the Kushan kings who abandoned it and built a new city at Sirsukh, about 1.5 km to the north-east.
Religious buildings
Buddhist stupas with strong Hellenistic decorative elements can be found throughout the Sirkap site (Stupa of the two eagles a Jain temple as well as a Hindu temple, indicating a close interaction of religious cultures. A Greek religious temple of the Ionic order is also visible at the nearby site of Jandial (650 meters from Sirkap), but there is a possibility that it may have been dedicated to a Zoroastrian cult.

The site of Sirkap bears witness to the city-building activity of the Indo-Greeks during their occupation of the Indian territory for close to two centuries, as well as their integration of other faiths, especially Buddhism.

Round stupa
One round Stupa is present at Sirkap. It is one of the oldest Stupas in the Indian-Subcontinent. It is assumed that this Stupa was uprooted and thrown to its present location by a strong earthquake in the 1st century AD. When the new city was built later, the Stupa was kept by building a protecting wall around it.


The round Stupa at Sirkap.
Apsidal Temple
The building that is known as the Apsidal Temple is the largest sanctuary of Sirkap, measuring about 70 by 40 meters (by contrast: the Parthenon in Athens is 70 by 31 meters). The Apsidal Temple consists of a square nave with several rooms, used by the Buddhist monks, and a circular room, which gives the building its apsidal shape. After the earthquake that destroyed the city in c. 30 AD, the Buddhist shrine was built in a spacious courtyard. The round part was probably in use for a small stupa, but no traces of it remain. Some carvings were probably done by an artist from Greece.


The round room of the Apsidal Temple.
Double-Headed Eagle Stupa
A special Stupa at Sirkap is the so-called 'Double-Headed Eagle Stupa'. The pilasters here are of a Greek design, Corinthian columns. In the middle arch, a Greek temple is shown; in the outer, a shrine of a Hindu design can be seen. On top of these sanctuaries, a Double-headed eagle is seated from which the name of the Stupa has been derived. This motive is rather odd, to say the least, as it is originally Babylonian. It seems to have spread to Scythia, and introduced in the Punjab by the Saka rulers.

Dharmarajika Stupa
The nearby Dharmarajika Stupa, is a large stupa that dates from the 2nd century CE.The stupa was built built to house relics of the Buddha, while several monastic buildings were built around the stupa.
Taxila or Takshashila was an ancient city in what is now northwestern Pakistan. It is an important archaeological site and in 1980, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[6] Its ruins lie near modern Taxila, in Punjab, Pakistan, about 35 km (22 mi) northwest of Rawalpindi.

Taxila was situated at the pivotal junction of South Asia and Central Asia. Its origin as a city goes back to c. 1000 BCE. Some ruins at Taxila date to the time of the Achaemenid Empire in the 6th century BCE, followed successively by Mauryan, Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, and Kushan periods. Owing to its strategic location, Taxila has changed hands many times over the centuries, with many empires vying for its control. When the great ancient trade routes connecting these regions ceased to be important, the city sank into insignificance and was finally destroyed by the nomadic Hunas in the 5th century. The archaeologist Alexander Cunningham rediscovered the ruins of Taxila in the mid-19th century.
