Kargah Buddha Rock is a famous archaeological site, that is located on the outskirts of Gilgit city. It is a carving image of a standing Buddha. The height of this Buddha is 50ft. This carving was completed in the 7th century. The Buddha figure is depicted wearing a monastic robe, with one hand raised in the gesture of blessing and the other hand holding a bowl.

Introduction to Kargah Buddha Rock:

The Kargah Buddha is a significant historical and cultural site. It attracts visitors from all over the world. The site is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, with the clean and clear Kargah River flowing nearby and the majestic mountains in the background. Visitors can hike up to the site from the Kargah Bridge, which offers stunning views of the valley and the surrounding landscape. 

Kargah Buddha is located about 10 kilometers outside of Gilgit city, the capital of Gilgit-Baltistan. The site is situated on the bank of the Kargah Nullah (stream) and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. The Buddha figure is carved out of a large granite rock face and is believed to date back to the 7th century when Buddhism was the dominant religion in the region.

Its carving is an impressive sight to behold. The statue is 14 meters high and is carved out of the natural rock face of a mountain. The Buddha figure is depicted in a sitting position, with his right hand raised in the abhaya mudra (fear not) gesture, and his left hand resting on his lap. The Buddha’s robe is depicted in intricate detail, and the carving as a whole is a testament to the skill of the ancient craftsmen who created it.

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you should write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo matter but generally people don't speak about these subjects. To the next!
