Vaishali, Buddhist archaeological site in Bihar, India
The excavated ruins extend across multiple mounds containing ancient structures, pottery remains, and architectural elements from different historical periods.
The location served as the capital of the Licchavi Republic in the 6th century BCE and hosted the Second Buddhist Council in 383 BCE.
Vaishali marks significant events in Buddhist history as Buddha delivered his final sermon here, commemorated by an Ashoka pillar with a single lion capital.
The archaeological site includes a museum displaying artifacts, remains of ancient structures, and informative panels explaining the historical context of discoveries.
The coronation tank, Abhishek Pushkarini, functioned as the ceremonial location where representatives of the early democratic Licchavi state received their authority.
