Review highlights

  • The site of Lord Mahavira's Nirvana (527 BCE) - a white marble temple standing in the centre of a lotus-filled lake, reached by a causeway. Photography inside is prohibited. Bihar Tourism also promotes it as a heritage site open to all visitors, so etiquette guidance for non-Jain visitors is limited on-site per one review. Appears twice on Google Maps under near-identical names/coordinates for the same physical Jal Mandir.

From publicly available Google Maps listings and reviews — please reconfirm by phone before travelling.
