Early Kilometers northeast of Bodhgaya, the small market town of Rajgir
nestles in the rocky hills that witnessed the meditations and teachings of
both the Buddha and Mahavira.This place is enjoyed as a health resort
because of the local hot springs by international pilgrims. Rajgir is famous
for rock-cut caves, forts, Buddhist ruins, shell inscriptions, Hindu and
Jain temples and Muslim tombs such as Venuvana Vihara , Peace Pagoda,
saptaparni cave .The Japanese much later have built the World Peace Stupa,
with its gilded images of the Buddha. |
