This is the town where Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara (fordmaker), died. There is a temple marking the spot, set in a large pond. The pond was said to have been made when Mahavira's followers frantically dug at the earth trying to get ashes from his funeral pyre. It is a great little town, about 20km from Rajgir, and it has about 5 temples surrounding the main temple and two others nearby.
