Budha Rock Skardu

There is only one surviving Buddhist Rock with rock carvings in the Skardu Valley located on Sadpara road. Scholars and researchers like Dr. A.H.

Probably the rock carvings and images of Buddha date back to the period of Great Tibetan Empire. When the Buddhist people of Gandhara migrated and passed through the present GB, Pakistan, they settled at some places temporarily and carved drawings of Stupas, scenes of their experiences and images olf Buddha with texts in Kharoshti language. There were a number of such Buddhist rock carvings in the

Skardu Valley. Probably those rocks were used either by Ali Sher Khan Anchan as building material or submerged in the Satpara lake. Dani from Pakistan and some from other countries have done lot of research work on these rock carvings and have since deciphered the text of the carvings in Kharoshti language.
