Ban Faqiran Stupa is situated in the southern part of the Margalla Hills, which separate Taxila and Islamabad, in the Shah Allah Ditta village. Apart from Ban Faqiran archaeological complex, two other famous archaeological sites, the Bowli and the Buddha Caves, are also located in Shah Allah Ditta village. Of these, the Buddha Caves were contemporaneous with the Stupa, whereas the architectural features of the Bowli (or stepwell) suggest it to be one of the bowlies built on the Shahrah-e-Azam (GT Road) long after the ancient Buddhist period – on the orders of 16th-century Sher Shah Suri.
