Dharmajika or Chir Tope is among the holiest shrines of Buddhism, as Lord Buddha’s body-relics were enshrined here. A small gold relic-casket, containing some minute bone relics of Lord Buddha, and a silver scroll inscription, in Kharoshti script, were found from this site during the British rule, which highlight the significance of this sacred precinct. The site is about 3 km from the Taxila Museum. It is located a high ground, next to a fresh water stream, and has a commanding view of the valley around it.
