Gandharan Civilization was based in present day northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan, but its direct influence stretched from Central Asia to northwest India.
Gandhara was a part of Vedic, Persian, Greek, Bactrian, Scythian, Parthian, Kushan, Hephthalite, and other kingdoms/empires. It became a melting pot of Indo-Aryan, Iranian, Greek, and other cultures/peoples.
Buddhism was popular in Gandhara along with Hellenic beliefs, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Mithraism, Shaivism, and Vedic beliefs.
