Bihar once was the educational hub of India, which actually implies that the cultural history of the place is quite old. It is the place where Lord Buddha attained his enlightenment. This is the reason; Bihar has always been a holy place for Buddhist people. Not only Buddhist but also followers of Jainism and people from other religious sects and beliefs visit Bihar for its peaceful ambience and cultural history.
Even this day Buddha’s teachings and spiritual preachings can be felt by looking at the monuments and they are still guiding thousands of people towards the right path of peace and virtue. Some of the popular places to visit are Bodh Gaya, Patna, Nalanda (India’s first university), Vaishali, Madhubani, Muzzaffarpur etc.
