Jain Stupa (6th-2nd centuries B.C.)
Just a few dozen meters from the Shrine of the Double-Headed Eagle sits the Jain Stupa, a relic of the Sirkap city period (2nd century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D.). The shrine is badly ruined. Nothing of the superstructure survives. The persepolitan columns with lion ornamentation that sit on the four corners were brought here from the ruins of the courtyard.
Location
The approximate location of the stupa is 33.755710' N, 72.829395' E (WGS 84 map datum).
