| Gaya City Bihar has some of the most sacred Buddhist and Hindu shrines. Gaya is one of the most important pilgrimage centre for the Hindus. It is believed that a Hindu will reach heaven if his last rites are offered under the celebrated Akshayabat or immortal banyan tree, standing in the yard of Vishnupad temple. Believed to be built on the footsteps of Vishnu, the grand temple was renovated by Ahalyabai, queen of Indore. Kurkihar - ancient habitation with ruins. Presumed to be the Kukkutapadagi mentioned by Hiuen Tsang in 7th century. Barabar Caves : 40 km away from Gaya, earliest Buddhist rock cut caves. Sasaram - 123 km from Gaya, tombs of Sher Shah Suri, his father and son. There is a cave with Ashokan edicts and a dargah on Chandan Pir Hill. Pawapuri : In Pawapuri or Apapuri, 38 km from Rajgir and 90 km from Patna, all sins end for a devout Jain. Lord Mahavira breathed his last here and was cremated here. People took away not only the ashes but also the scoopedout earth and thus a tank came into being. Now the famous Jalamandir marble temple stands at the site. There is another Jain temple here viz. Samosharan. Parasnath Hill
: It is believed that 22 tirthankars out of 24 attained salvation
here and is one of the sacred pilgrim centres for the Jains. |
