There are two Hindu temples above the village of Amb Sharif about five miles south of Sakaser. Like the temples at Malot and Katas in the eastern Salt Range, the temples at Amb share some features of the Kashmir style of architecture, but instead of a pyramidal roof, they have the less conical shikhara design as found in temples at Kafir Kot on the Western side of the Indus River across from Mianwali ( Rahman 1979282-3) . A third temple is mentioned in earlier reports ( Cunningham 33, Wilson 29, Rodgers 9) and was visible as late as 1985, but is no longer preserved. The larger temple on a square platform (93’x62’) has been repaired for structural support. Just as in the temple at Katas, once can climb o the top of this temple (60’) via a staircase inding through three stories. Based on the architecture of these temples, Cunningham estimated a date of between 800-950 AD for the construction of these temples.
Surrounding the site are extensive archeological remains of stone buildings. Near the northern side of the side is an underground spring, which has been protected by some very old masonry. This channel was probably the water supply for the settlement. On the ridge above the temples and the ruins of dwelling places is a very strong defensive wall constructed from large blocks of stone. Comparing this structure to forts at Malot and Nandana will probably reveal that it belongs to the period of the Hindu Shahis around 1000 A.D. Aurel Stein’s Archeological reconnaissance’s in North-Western India and South-eastern Iran (London 1937) is a good source for the study of Hindu Shahi temples and forts in the Salt range. photo (Adnan Alam Awan &Tahir Iqbal)

This fort lies on the narrow top of a hillock in southern part of the Salt Range about 10 kilometers from Choa Sadien Shah. Maharaja Singh is said to have besieged this fort till the Janjua Sardar, Sultan Fateh Muhammad Khan surrendered to him.
The Janjua Sultanof Watli, Sultan Fateh Muhammad Khan (descendant of Raja Jodh through Raja Sun Pal) opposed the Sikhs, holding them off for over 6 months in Kusuk Fort, Watli, for which Ranjit Singh gave the salt mines of Khewra and 40 villages to the Sultan as compensation. (Photos:Admin)

The Bhallar Stupa (2nd/3rd A.D.) occupies a commanding position on the last spur of the Sarda hill, which bounds the Haro Valley on the north, and is situated at the side of the Havalian Railway, about 8 km from the museum. According to Hsuan Tsang, it was originally built by the Emperor Ashoka to commemorate the spot where the Buddha in a previous existence had made an offering of his head, but if ever Ashoka erected a monument here, no trace of it is now discoverable. It stood on a lofty oblong base, ascended on its eastern side by a broad flight of steps. The body of the superstructure above this base consisted, as usual, of a drum and dome surmounted by one or more umbrellas. The drum, which is strikingly high in proportion to the diameter of the monument, was divided into six or seven tiers, diminishing in size from the bottom upwards and decorated with rows of decadent Corinthian pilasters, friezes and dentil cornices. The northern half of the stupa has entirely fallen, and on this side the relic chamber, which was set near the top of the drum, is now exposed to view. (Courtesy: Sajjad shah, Photos: Admin)
