Darwaish

I think many ATP readers might find this one very interesting. This is an ancient rock picture located somewhere in Pakistan. Can you guess what is it and exactly where? In case you know about it, please share as many details as you can. I must tell you though that the current status of this rock picture is unfortunate and sad.Happy guessing.

Note: We will let you know about the photographer and his website after few days.

    It is Swat near a mountain in Saido Shareef. There are similar symbols in Swat museum too. Am I right?

    @ These are the blocks fallen at the time the famous
    fly over collapsed in Karachi, which was inaugurated
    just two weeks ago, by Pres. Musharraf.
    Some frustrated art lover tried to carve-out a locomotive belonging to PWR Bolan Express.

    Ne kisi kay pull ka satoon hon
    Jo na baj sakay, wo rabab hon
    jo na sun skay wo dhamal hon

    I think it is somewhere in Chitral. I have seen such objects on many rocks there. Not sure though.

    Darwaish I have no idea. but if I have to make a guess and looking at your past quizzes about Takht-e-Bahi area, I would say it is somewhere in NWFP. May be in Swat area and I think it is the one that sadly got defaced few months ago.

    This is either somewhere in Swat (as Roshan suggested) or this is neat takht bahi? I think it is in Swat where many Buddhist heritage is found.
