Takht-e Rostam: Buddhist Stupa Carved Into The Ground
Takht-e Rostam or Stupa of Takht-e Rostam is a stupa Buddhist monastery complex in Haibak, Afghanistan. Built in the 3rd-4th century AD while the area was part of the Kushano-Sasanian Kingdom, the complex is carved entirely from the bedrock and consists of five chambers, two of them sanctuaries. One of them has a domed ceiling with an elaborate lotus leaf decoration. On an adjacent hill is the stupa, surmounted by a harmika, with several more rough caves around the base. Unlike most stupas, the one of Takht-e Rostam has not been mounted above ground, but it has been carved into the ground, in a style that resembles the monolithic churches of Ethiopia.
