Pushang

Pushang, also called Fushanj, was a town of eastern Khorasan southwest of Herat and south of the Hari River. It existed before the Islamic conquest, and tradition attributed its foundation and a bridge to the Sasanian king Shapur I. Herat and its surroundings passed between Sasanian and Hephthalite power before the Arabs arrived. The old town belonged to the chain of settled places along the Hari valley, west of the great oasis of Herat.
