Hamara prachin Gandhara, aaj ka Afghanistan
One of the oldest Hindu temples still standing in the area is the Asamai Hindu Temple in Kabul.
According to Vedic tradition, Bharatvarsha's wider cultural environment stretched far into modern-day Afghanistan. The Hindu Shahi rulers and ancient Gandhara had strong structural, spiritual, and historical connections to this world.
The temple and its centuries-old eternal flame, named for Asha Mai (the Goddess of Hope), continue to be a live reminder of this rich and enduring past.
