Hindu temple in Taxila, Pakistan

Ram Rakhi in the loving memory of her husband Bahagat Lal Rawalpindiwale constructed this temple in 1932. Before partition there was a considerable Hindu population in Jehlum, which have all vanished - either converted to Islam or migrated to India. The vanishing hindu population left behind these magnificent places of worship, which have now been encroached by muslim migrants from India and Kashmir and are in miserable condition.
