Experience of TOUR OF TOURISM PLACE VISHAW SHANTI STUPA , RAJGIR, BIHAR

  VISHWA SHANTI STUPA,. TOURIST DESTINATION

Constructed in 1965, this blazing-white, 40m stupa stands atop Ratnagiri Hill about 5km south of town. Recesses in the stupa feature golden statues of Buddha in four stages of his life – birth, enlightenment, preaching, and death. A fun but wobbly single-person chairlift runs to the summit, which affords expansive views of hills and a few Jain shrines dotting the landscape. Next to the stupa, a Japanese-built peace pagoda reverberates to the rhythmic sound of meditative drum beats.

Rajgir (historically known as Girivraj) is an ancient city and a notified area in Nalanda district in the Indian state of Bihar. The city of Rajgir (ancient Rājagṛha; Pali: Rājagaha) was the first capital of the kingdom of Magadha, a state that would eventually evolve into the Mauryan Empire. 

The city finds mention in India's greatest literary epic, the Mahabharata, through its king Jarasandha. Its date of origin is unknown, although ceramics dating to about 1000 BC have been found in the city. The famous 2,500-year-old Cyclopean Wall (Cyclopean masonry) is located in the city. This area is also notable in Jainism and Buddhism. It was the birthplace of the 20th Jain Tirthankar Munisuvrata and closely associated with the Arihant Mahavira and Gautama Buddha. Both Lord Mahavira and Lord Buddha taught their beliefs in Rajgir during the 6th and 5th centuries BC. 

The ancient Nalanda university was located in the vicinity of Rajgir, and the contemporary Nalanda University named after it was founded in 2010 at Rajgir. It was also through Rajgir that the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka traveled to Bodh Gaya around 250 BC when placing the diamond throne (Vajrasana) at the great temple where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.

It is more enjoyable when you visit Rajgir tourist place by tonga Gadi, The best time to visit is the winter season (October to February) because in summer season very hot surrounding areas.
