Gondrani (Urdu: گونڈرانی), also known as Shehr-e-Roghan (Urdu: شہرِ روغان),[1] is an archaeological site near the town of Bela in Balochistan, Pakistan. The exact history of the town is not known, nor who built the caves. Historians believe that the town was once a large Buddhist monastery dating back to the eighth century, when the region was part of a Buddhist kingdom.[4] André Wink in his book Early Medieval India and the Expansion of Islam: 7th-11th Centuries states that In effect, at eighteen km north-west of Las Bela, at Gandakahar, near the ruins of an ancient town, are the caves of Gondrani, and as their construction shows these caves were undoubtedly Buddhist.[5]
