Saidu Sharif Stupa is a Buddhist archaeological site in Pakistan’s Swat region, built on two artificial terraces at the foot of the mountains between the Saidu and Jambil valleys. The lower terrace held a main stupa encircled by smaller stupas, viharas, and columns, while the upper terrace contained a monastery. The main monument preserves its square base and first cylindrical drum, with surviving decorative fragments including a figured frieze and lion-topped columns. Developed in three phases from about 25 BCE through the 5th century CE, the complex expanded and later declined. Excavations from 1963 to 1982 made it important for understanding Buddhism in ancient Swat and Gandharan sacred architecture.
