Description:
The name 'Gandhara' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'gandha' meaning 'sandalwood' or 'camphor.' Gandhara was a region in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent that was inhabited by Indo-Aryan speakers. Gandhara was known for its skilled artisans, including potters, weavers, and metalworkers. Gandhara also had a rich culture, including its own mythology and religious beliefs. Gandhara was conquered by the Muslim invaders in the early 8th century, and much of its culture was lost. However, some elements of Gandhara's culture remain today, including its customs and variations.
