Rajgir
is sacred to the memory of the founders of both the Buddhism
and Jainism. Lord Buddha spent
many months of retreat during the rainy season here, and used
to meditate and preach on Griddhkuta, the 'Hill of the Vultures'.
Lord Mahavir spent fourteen years of his life at Rajgir and
Nalanda.
It was in Rajgriha that Lord Buddha delivered some
of his famous sermons and converted king Bimbisara of the Magasha
Kingdom and countless others to his creed.
Even today the
vestiges of a legendary and historical past remain intact, like
the cyclopean
wall that encircles
the town and the marks engraved in rock that local folklore
ascribes to Lord Krishna's chariot. This legend, like many
others associates Rajgir to that distant time when the stirring
events recorded in the epic Mahabharata were being enacted.
