The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province is fortunately very rich in archaeological remains and very often one
can hear about the chance discovery of underground structures, sculptures, coins, pottery, and figurines
etc. at various areas. However, this abundance of cultural assets is slowly and gradually disappearing due
to various reasons of which the clandestine diggings and illegal occupation of ancient sites are the most
noteworthy. In every exploration report of the archaeologist we see that certain Hindu and Buddhist period
abandoned sites are presently occupied by the construction of mosques, houses, or the community graveyard.
In this connection the Muslim graveyard of the Ziarat village is one of the best examples. The present paper
thus treats with the preliminary survey report of the documentation of some graves in the said graveyard
which has been decorated with the extracted stones from a Buddhists stupa and Hindu temple, and still
possesses the original carvings of decorative and architectural representations.
