Buddha Circuit Nalnda Tour

Package Overview

Twelve kilometers from Rajgir is Nalanda, which was a resort for saints and ascetics. It was made into a university in fifth century AD and remained the greatest seat of learning for over 700 years. Nalanda Mahavira, Regarded as one of the greatest universities of ancient world, was founded by Kumargupta (413-455 A.D.) of the great Gupta Dynasty, King Harshavardhana of Kannauj(606-647 A.D.) and the Pala kings of East India (8th-12th Century) continued to extend patronage to this center. The decline of this great institution started in later Pala period but the final blow came in around 1200 A.D. by the invasion of Bakhtiyar Khilji. Excavation conducted by Archaeological Survey of India During 1915-37 and 1974-82 have exposed the extensive remains of six brick temples and eleven monasteries arranged in a systematic layout and spread over an area more than a square kilometer. Basically a thirty meter wide passage runs north-south with the row of temples on the west and that of the monasteries on the east of it. The dimension and the disposition of rooms within monasteries are almost identical. If you are interested in exploring Bihar and its tourist spot then book Nalanda Tour.
