Kargah Buddha (Urdu: کارگاہ بدھ‎; Shina: Yʂhani یݜنی‎) is an archaeological site located about 6 miles (9.7 km) outside of Gilgit, Gilgit−Baltistan, Pakistan.[2] It is a carved image of a large standing Buddha, some 50 ft (15 m) high, in the cliff-face in Kargah Nala.[3][4] The carving, which is in a style also found in Baltistan, is estimated to date back to the 7th century.[4]

The image is surrounded by the holes for a wooden house structure, which would have sheltered it from inclement weather.
