The story
Historical context
Khalchayan was excavated in the Surkhandarya foothills and became known for painted clay sculptures from an elite architectural complex.
Archaeological and architectural evidence
The figures have shaped scholarship on early Kushan history and artistic exchange, but their identities and historical reading remain subjects of interpretation.
Interpretation and uncertainty
Most celebrated works are museum material; the archaeological terrain is not a complete palace display. Verify the current visitor entrance and access before travel.
Why it matters
Visit Khalchayan Archaeological Site to understand a distinct layer of Termez and the wider Surkhandarya Region.
