Review highlights
- Traditional birthplace of Tirthankara Mahavira (born Vardhamana) as Prince of Kundagrama, Vaishali, to King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala (sister of the Lichchhavi ruler Chetaka); Jain tradition dates the birth to 599 BCE (some historians suggest later, c. 540 BCE). NOTE - a genuine historical dispute exists: some traditions and at least one reviewer cited in research place Mahavira's actual birthplace in Jamui district, Bihar, rather than here - flagged factually without taking a side. Reviews also caution visitors against donation solicitation by on-site guides and note no food/water vendors nearby - carry supplies.
