Jetavana, Buddhist monastery in Shravasti, India
The monastery grounds contain ancient stupas, meditation halls, living quarters, and structural foundations spread across 32 acres of land.
Constructed in the 5th century BCE, Jetavana served as Buddha's residence for 19 rainy seasons and became a center of Buddhist teachings.
The monastery holds numerous ancient Buddhist scriptures and texts, with many important discourses delivered within its walls during Buddha's time.
Visitors can access the archaeological site daily from sunrise to sunset through local transportation connections from Lucknow and Balrampur.
The land for Jetavana was purchased by covering the entire ground with gold coins, as the previous owner refused to sell it through conventional means.
