Very interesting large complex of a ruined early university.
Mainly Buddhist but also mixed in with Hindu elements. It is where the Mahayana school of Buddhism began during the Pala era .There are extensive ruins and some interesting carvings. Not as old as the university of Nalanda which is 5th century.
Destroyed by the Mogul invasion and then hidden under the earth until excavated in the 70s
A good small museum which has lovely statues of Tara and other Bhodisattvas.
Plenty of English info. Attractive clean well maintained grounds and nice clean washrooms

This is among few places which is of great significance to Jain community.. It is said that Lord Mahavira stayed here for sometime while he was on his religious quest.. The architecture of the place is something that you would admire if you see..
There's also a park where we went for pic after visiting this place.. Overall a good place in Bhagalpur are.. Though it's located at quite a distance away from bhagalpur in Nathnagar locality..
Should come here..

Located at the bank of river Ganges this is a Shiva temple with a history of more than 100 years. Location is mesmerizing. You can worship deities like Goddess Durga, Radha-Krishna, Lord Hanuman and so many others. The view of river Ganga is mesmerizing. One can easily reach here by any means of transport. So many other small temples are also here outside and around the temple. During festival times it is very difficult to get into the temple. One can stay as late as possible at this temple. A must visit for any person in Bhagalpur.

The temple is perhaps the most famous landmark in the town. We visit the temple, take Ganga jal during Shraawan and go to Deoghar on foot to offer the same to Shiv Shankar.

Das Driftwood Museum & Park is situated in the core area of "Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin" Sanctuary (Asia's only Dolphin Sanctuary). Located on the only island in River Ganga. Das Driftwood is truly one of its kind in the country and an experience in itself. Most probably, it is the only true "Driftwood Park" in the whole world where you can see 3 - 16 feet high amazing driftwood art and sculptur
