As you are from Taxila, you must have visited all these areas many a times. Taxila is full of Khandarat (remains).

When you get out of exit point- right infront of you are two small twin clifs. One is used for cultivation (that i'll show later), other one is the special one. On the top of it lies remains of palace & stupa of the emperor of that time. Although totally destroyed- yet it gives idea of the grace of the emperor. Also this place is ideal to keep an eye on the city.

To reach the palace, one has to climb a couple of stairs.

Within the palace there are many a rooms of the same size & shape, probably for the wives of the emperor
