Darwaish

Some of you must be thinking that this is a private home or a tourist hotel somewhere in northern areas. Nah, you are wrong. Yes, it is a famous place so I am sure may of ATP readers will guess it easily but some might find it difficult specially those who have never been to this place. So let’s see how many of you can guess what is this thing and exactly where? Happy guessing )

    Looks like this was way too easy :). Almost everyone guessed it right. We will definitely have to come up with something really tough next time.

    Btw, the picture has been originally taken by one of my favorite photographers Fakhr E Alam Bhatti. Click on the link to view more of his wonderful work.

    I first and only guess is, The Museum Building in Texilla. I visited this place more than 40 years aro and I still remember it as if I was there recently. The only building with lush creepers in Pakistan. I hope this museum has not been robbed of its precious artifacts like the museum in Lahore.

    this is actually the REAR of the Taxila Museum which is about 30 minutes drive from Islamabad. The door that you see in the center is actually ornamented by a wall sample that shows Taxila civilization construction methods over the centuries. From simple rocks to actually using cement! This exit exactly behind the main entrance of the Museum (which is facing the Haripur Road). Next to this Museum is the house of the curator which has excellent grounds that were built during the British era as was this Museum. Enuff Said!
