Chaukandi is a 300-year-old graveyard comprised of tombstones made of yellow sandstone, similar to the tomb of Cyrus in the Iranian Valley of Murghan. Each stone is unique, with geometric or floral designs and other markings that distinguish the rank and sex of the inhabitant. The silent and peaceful archaeological site at Bhambore is closely associated with the legendary City of Debal where Mohammad bin Qasim landed in the 8th century A.D. The excavated town reveals a well-planned network of streets and narrow lanes between blocks of houses made of mud bricks. Around the 10th century, it was the capital of Chief Bhambo Raja, and was named Bhambore after him. The town was subsequently destroyed in 1250 A.D.
