VAISHALI

                  There are places in this world, which might seem ordinary but going little close to

them will make you realize their rich ancient historical legacy. Vaishali is one of them.

Vaishali looked like an ordinary place covered with lush green mango and banana trees, but

excavations revealed its rich and impressive historical past. They tell us that King Vishal

ruled once here with his might and power.It is this place, which remained once the center

for trade and industry. Lord Buddha also visited this place occasionally. One can witness

on the outskirts of Vaishali, the presence of grand double storied Buddhist monastery.

Buddha quite often provided lectures and discourses.
