Amb Temple (two Hindu temples), Khushab district, Punjab, Pakistan
Amb Temple (two Hindu temples), Khushab district, Punjab, Pakistan
There are two Hindu temples above the village of Amb Sharif about five miles south of Sakaser. These 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. The larger temple on a square platform (93’x62’) has been repaired for structural support. One can climb on the top of this temple (60’) via a staircase inding through three stories. Based on the architecture of these temples, an estimated date of between 800-950 AD for the construction of these temples is considered.
