Timeless Heritage of Ghor Khatri

Ghor Khatri serves as a key testament to Peshawar's rich history, revealing layers of civilization beneath its grounds.

Founded during the Mughal era, it later became the governor's residence during the Sikh period. The site is significant for its archaeological excavations that uncover evidence of Peshawar's evolution, reaching depths of nearly 15 meters pre-dating both Greek and Kushan cultures. Architecturally, it features classic Mughal elements, complemented by a neglected Hindu temple that adds to its cultural depth.
