Shewaki (Dari: شيوکى) is a village located in the Hindaki area of Afghanistan, in Bagrami District, Kabul Province, near the mountains Koh e Hindaki and Munar e Chakari (not related to Chakari, Afghanistan).
Shewaki is derived from Shiva, the supreme Hindu deity.[citation needed]
Shewaki Stupa
Shewaki is the site of Shahbahar (King's Vihara), one of Afghanistan's major Hindu temples.[citation needed] Shahbahar was a Buddhist stupa during the Kushans dynasty and a Hindu temple in the time of the Kabul Shahi. It was constructed between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE.[1] In 2022, the reconstruction of Shewaki Stupa finished. The restoration work cost more than $80,000.[2]
