Takht-i-Bahi:

The site is considered among the most important relics of Buddhism in all of what was once Gandhara

The monastery was founded in the 1st century CE and was in use until the 7th century

The region was subjugated by the Huns in the middle of the fifth century, which ended the Kushan rule. The Huns slaughtered the inhabitants of the Gandhara region and destroyed most, if not all, Buddhist monasteries. Evidence suggests that Takht-i-Bahi was damaged in the same period by the Huns. However, the complex appears to have been in use until the 7th century

The name Takht-i-Bahi is uncertain. According to a local belief, it got it's name from two wells on the hill or the springs nearby. In Persian, Takht means 'top' or 'throne' while bahi means 'spring' or 'water'
