The first temple! In Buddhism 🙏🏻

Veluvana Monastery is a place where history and nature blend perfectly. It is located in Rajgir, Bihar, India. This temple is of Buddhist significance as it was the first monastery where the Buddha stayed after his enlightenment. This bamboo garden was once offered by King Bimbisara of Magadha for the Buddha and his monks to stay and practice Dharma. You can feel the tranquility and shade from the surrounding bamboo trees, which is suitable for meditation or walking meditation. During your visit, there are several important places to visit such as Mucalinda pond, which is a sacred pond, and the area where the Buddha delivered the Ovadapatimokkha. Travel Tips • How to get there: From Bodh Gaya, you can take a taxi or bus for about 2 hours. • Best time to visit: October to February, the weather is cool and comfortable. • What to bring: Hat, umbrella, and drinking water because walking around the place can take a long time. #VeluvanaMonastery #Buddhism #Rajgir #VisitIndia #PilgrimagePlaces
