Rajgir, Ancient Buddhist town in Nalanda district, India
Seven hills surround Rajgir, with the Panchane river flowing through the outskirts and multiple natural hot springs emerging from the ground.
The town functioned as the capital of the Magadha Empire until the 5th century BC when King Ajatshatru transferred the capital to Pataliputra.
The Saptkarni caves on Vaibhava Hill hosted the first Buddhist Council, marking a crucial moment in the development of Buddhist teachings.
The ropeway system provides transportation to the Vishwa Shanti Stupa, offering views of the surrounding landscape and ancient structures.
The Griddhakuta hill contains stone beds where Buddha delivered numerous teachings during monsoon seasons while seeking shelter from rain.
