    History

    The Kutagarasala Vihara is historically significant as it was a place where Buddha often stayed during his visits to Vaishali. It's mentioned in Buddhist texts as a location where he delivered important sermons. The monastery was a thriving center of Buddhist learning and practice for centuries. Over time, the structure faced decline and was eventually reduced to ruins. Archaeological excavations have revealed the layout of the monastery, including cells for monks, stupas, and other essential features of a monastic complex. Its historical importance lies in its direct association with Buddha and the early spread of Buddhism.
