Mahavir Mandir (Hindi: हनुमान मन्दिर) is one of the holiest Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman, located in Patna, Bihar, India. Million of pilgrims visit the temple every year and is the second most visited religious shrine in North India.
The Mahavir Mandir Trust have the second highest budget in North India after the famous Maa Vaishno Devi shrine. The earning of Mahavir Mandir has gone now up to an average of Rs 1 lakh per day.

 

Jal Mandir is a temple in the middle of a lake blooming with lotuses. Legend says that after the cremation of Mahavira, in order to meet the demand for his ashes, a large amount of soil was removed from around the funeral pyre, creating the water-tank. The beautiful marble Jalmandir was later built in the middle of the tank. The temple was built by King Nandivardhan, elder brother of Lord Mahavira. Jal Mandir is built in the shape of "Vimana" and there is a stone bridge about 600 feet in length across it from the bank to the temple.

Kesariya is a small city in Bihar, India. It is famous for being the site of (possibly) the biggest stupa of India, built by King Ashoka. Kesariya used to be called Kesaputta during the time of the Buddha. It was a township of the Kosalans and the residence of the Kalamas. The Buddha once stayed there, on which occasion he preached the Kesaputtiya Suttas (a group of suttas preached to the Kalamas of Kesaputta - A.i.188), amongst which is the famous Kalama Sutta.

Kesariya is located 55 km north west of Vaishali in the state of Bihar in India. In the time of the Buddha, it was known as Kessaputta. The place was the venue where the Buddha delivered His famous Kalama Sutta to the Kalama people. Through this discourse, the Buddha urged His followers to analyse His teachings thoroughly before accepting them. The details of the discourse can be found in the The Buddha's Charter of Free Inquiry: Kalama Sutta, Wheel No 8.

Also, as per legends, the Buddha left Vaishali for Kusinara (Kushinagar) in the last year of His life. As He proceeded on His journey, a large group of Vijjians joined Him and declined to leave. When they reached Kessaputta, the Buddha persuaded them to leave. The crowd was unhappy, so just to cheer them up gave His begging bowl. A stupa, later came up at this site to commemorate the incident. This stupa was visited by both Fa-hien as well as Hieun Tsang. Both these Chinese traveller left brief details of their visiting experience to this stupa.

The stupa has five large terraces each of which varies in shape and enshrines a life like statue of Lord Buddha. When seen from above, the stupa gives an impression of a mandala. The stupa was measured by Cunningham who found that the circumference was 1400 feet while the height was 51 feet. He also worked out that originally, the dome of the stupa would have been 70 feet tall. Excavation and restoration work on the stupa is still under process.
