Takht-i-Bhai (also spelled
Takht Bahi,
Takht Bhai or
Takh Bay) is a
Parthian archaeological site in
Mardan,
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa,
Pakistan. It was first a
Zoroastrian complex which, after the later arrival of
Buddhism, was then converted into a
Buddhist monastic complex. It is dated to the 1st century BCE. The complex is regarded by archaeologists as being particularly representative of the architecture of Buddhist monastic centers from its era. It was listed as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.
