Kutagarshala Vihara
3 Km From Vaishali, Vaishali, India Phone: Not Available Not availableAbout
Kutagarshala Vihara is situated at 3 km from the main town of Vaishali in Bihar. It was built by Licchavis for Sakhamuni and is also referred to as Buddha Stupa II. The premises of this vihara include remains of an ancient monastery along with an open courtyard and a verandah. There is also a story attached to this place where a monkey took the bowl of Lord's alms and climbed a tree to fill it with honey. Then it offered that bowl to Lord Buddha which he accepted. Out of joy the monkey leaped from tree to tree and fell on the stump of one of the trees that existed in the same place where currently this vihara exists.
