During the demolition of a house in the Barh area within the Sarki Gate of the city, the basement was unearthed.

 

 

The Department of Archaeology, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has taken possession of the building, and the discovery is being celebrated as a remarkable addition to the historic city of Peshawar.

To ensure the preservation of the structure, the Department of Archaeology has put a stop to construction at the site and sealed the house.

The Sikh community has a rich history in Peshawar, with many families having lived there for generations, despite facing challenges in recent years. The community remains an essential and thriving part of the city’s cultural heritage.

One of the most notable landmarks for the Sikh community in Peshawar is the Gurdwara Bhai Joga Singh, a historic temple located in the city’s centre. The temple has served as a spiritual hub for over a century and is a testament to the area’s rich Sikh history.
