Jaulian (Urdu: جولیاں; meaning Seat of Saints[1]) is a ruined Buddhist monastery dating from the 2nd century CE,[2] located in Taxila, in Pakistan.[3] Jaulian, along with the nearby monastery at Mohra Muradu, form part of the Ruins of Taxila – a collection of excavations that were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. Jaulian was built in the 2nd-century CE – around the same time as the nearby Mohra Muradu[4] Jaulian, along with the rest of Ancient Taxila, was devastated in the 450s CE during the invasion of the White Huns, and later abandoned. Subsequent rulers, such as the Hun King Mihirakula, persecuted the region’s Buddhists,[5] and the site never recovered.
