(1st-5th c. AD) Kahu-Jo-Darro is an ancient Buddhist stupa at the Mirpurkhas site in Sindh, Pakistan. The temple complex covers 30 acres (120,000 m²) and was excavated before 1910, revealing a large brick-based stupa with numerous terracotta reliefs now housed in major world museums[1]. Archaeological finds include historic Indian and Arab coins, which scholars like Derryl MacLean cite as evidence that Buddhism was thriving in Sindh until the 10th century, declining after the Islamic conquest[2].
