Kahu-Jo-Darro
Kahu-Jo-Darro is an ancient Buddhist archaeological site near modern-day Mirpurkhas, Pakistan. Excavations revealed a Buddhist stupa from the site. The ancient site is spread over.
General John Jacob, the acting British Commissioner in Sindh was first to be attracted to the site in the 19th century. His excavations found a vase of fine earthenware containing some pieces of crystal and amethyst, which was sent to the Karachi Museum. The stupa was decorated using terracotta sculptures representing the Buddha. The artwork is similar to that seen at Sarnath and at Mathura. Clay tablets containing the Buddhist formula "Ye Dharma Hetu" in 7th-8th script were also found.
The stupa is now said to be in a poor condition. The bricks have been taken away causing deliberate destruction.
