🇮🇳 Vaishali, Bihar – Destination Guide

Vaishali, a sacred and historical city in Bihar, holds a revered place in Buddhist and Jain traditions. It was the capital of the ancient Licchavi Kingdom and one of the world's earliest republics. Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, was born here, and Lord Buddha delivered his last sermon in Vaishali, making it a significant pilgrimage site for both faiths. With its spiritual legacy, ancient ruins, and tranquil surroundings, Vaishali offers a deep sense of connection to India's philosophical roots.
