Jandial Temple Taxila


The 2,000-year-old Greek temple in Jandial (now in Pakistan) is a famous landmark in temple architecture in India. It was excavated from one of the mounds which covered the city of Taxila or Takshashila 

The Jandial temple was probably Zoroastrian and contained a square sanctuary, a meeting hall and a courtyard. Its inner and outer entrances were each flanked by two large pillars of Ionian pattern.
