Mandar Parvat, Sacred mountain in Banka district, India
The granite mountain rises 700 feet above the surrounding landscape in Bihar state, featuring temples at its base and summit.
Ancient texts mention Mandar Hill as the churning rod used during the mythological event of Samudra Manthan to extract nectar from the ocean.
The mountain holds religious importance for both Hindu and Jain followers, with temples dedicated to Vishnu, Lakshmi, and the 12th Tirthankara Vasupujya.
Visitors can reach the site by taking regular buses from Bhagalpur city, which run every 15 minutes along the Bhagalpur-Dumka state road.
The granite surface of the mountain displays circular marks that local traditions associate with the coils of the serpent Basuki from Hindu mythology.
