Takht Bahi Buddhist Monastery

The Buddhist monastic complex of Takht-i-Bahi (Throne of Origins - A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980) is situated on top of a 152 m high hill, about 80 km from Peshawar and 16 km north-west of the city of Mardan. It was founded in the early 1st century AD, and was successively occupied and expanded from that time until it fell into disuse through the discontinuation of charitable endowments in modern times. Owing to its location on the crest of a hill, it escaped the invasions of the Huns and other antagonistic peoples, leaving it today with much of its original character intact. The name Takht-i-Bahi derives from the spring on the hilltop and is literally translated as 'Spring Throne'. By Tayyab Mir

The rule is to hold a hard-boiled egg and tap eggs of other participants to break them but to keep your own undamaged.
