Indian Painting is Not On Display in Afghan Palace

A post is circulating on social media which claims that a painting hangs in Panjshir, Afghanistan, which shows Indian imagery. “This painting exists in the Panjsheer [sic] Palace, in the erstwhile Gandhara kingdom of Mahabharata time, the present day Afghanistan,” states the claim. “The name 'Panjsheer' which is an aberration of the original name 'Panch sher' meaning Five Lions, was built in honour of the Five Pandava brothers.” One concerned user added, “Why has UNESCO not declared it a heritage site and ensured that it not be destroyed?”
