Tulamba is more than 2,500 years old [1]. Archaeological digs have uncovered four distinct layers, belonging to the Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh civilisations [1]. The coins of several prior governments have been excavated here [1]. Tulamba saw the influence of several Mahajanapada of ancient India, mainly Gandhara, Kamboja and Magadha [1]. Alexander the Great came to Tulamba when he invaded the Indian sub-continent [1]. At that time Tulamba was ruled by the Moi people, who fought Alexander's forces [1]. The ruins of the ancient city are situated on the edge of the modern city [1].
