#sirkap

The stupa was built sometime between 30 BC and 80 AD. It is found among the ruins of the ancient city of Sirkap in the Taxila archeological site. Sirkap was an Indo-Greek city that was founded around 180 BC by King Demetrius I of Bactria after he invaded parts of what are now Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India.

Wandering on the broken streets of an old civilization, sometimes you find yourself staring back at living beings who are more as the current occupant of these forgotten cities which were once alive and prosperous. Same was with the pleasant case of this cute puppy who was ironically sitting at the door of an ancient guard room just at the entrance to the city which used to be #sirkap . Staring blank into the distance, this little fellow seemed to be busy thinking about her next play. From my travel archive. .
