Vishwa Shanti stupa, Rajgir, Peace Pagoda on Ratnagiri Hills in Rajgir, India.

The white stupa rises 120 feet high with a diameter of 103 feet, displaying four golden Buddha statues on each cardinal direction.

The structure, completed in 1969, represents one of 80 peace pagodas built worldwide following the atomic bombing of Japan during World War II.

The monument features Buddhist statues depicting four essential moments of Buddha's life, serving as a center for meditation and prayer gatherings.

Visitors can access the hilltop monument through a cable car service or by climbing the steps to reach an elevation of 400 meters.

The stupa stands as the first peace pagoda constructed in India, incorporating both Japanese and Indian architectural elements in its design.
