Meditate On The Buddhist Circuit

Bihar

Buddha, the Enlightened One, walked upon this land of ours! Bihar is dotted with landmarks associated with the life, and teachings of Lord Buddha. Trace the origins of Buddhism on a trail that links the significant sacred sites of Bihar. Begin with the temple complex at Bodhgaya where Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment to become Buddha. Drive to the scenic hill town of Rajgir where monasteries built by Japanese devotees still stand, and continue towards the ruins of Nalanda— once the largest site of Buddhist teachings. Lord Buddha often visited the monastery here to meditate, and to preach. Before winding down at Patna, visit the stupa at Vaishali, built in honour of Buddha’s last sermon delivered here.
