DISTRICT PROFILE

BACKGROUND OF THE DISTRICT

Vaishali find its origin way

back in history from the

Mahabharata period. It is the

place where democracy

found its origin around

600BC.

Numerous references to

Vaishali are found in texts

pertaining to both Jainism

and Buddhism, which have

preserved much information

on Vaishali and the other Maha Janapadas. Based on the information found in these

texts, Vaishali was established as a republic by the 6th century BC, prior to the birth of

Gautama Buddha in 563, making it the world's first republic.Being the birthplace of

the last Jain “Thirthankara” Lord Mahavir gives Vaishali a very special place in history.

The founder of Buddhism, Gautam Buddha delivered his last sermon and announced

his Parinirvana (attainment of enlightment) on this holy soil. It is also renowned as the

land of Ambapali (Amrapali), the great Indian courtesan. It is held that the district

derives its name from King Vishal. However, history records that around the time

Pataliputra was the centre of political, cultural and economic activities in the Gangetic

plains, Vaishali came into existence as centre of the Ganga, it was the seat of the

Republic of Vajji. Vaishali is credited with being the World's First Republic to have a

duly elected assembly of representatives and efficient administration. Vaishali is also

renowned as the land of Ambapali (also spelled as Amrapali), the great Indian

courtesan, who appears in many folktales, as well as in Buddhist literature. Ambapali

became a disciple of Buddha.


The district gained the status of independent district on 12-10-1972, prior to which it

was a part of old Muzaffarpur district. Hajipur, the district headquarters of Vaishali

was so named after a King of Bengal named Haji Ilyas Shah (1345 to 1358 A.D) who

founded it. He built a fort in Hajipur, with a mosque inside it called Jami Masjid, a

building measuring 84.5 ft (25.8 m) long and 33.5 ft (10.2 m) broad, which was called

Ukkacala in ancient times.

The Hajipur town is bounded by Narayani

Gandak River in west and holy Ganga River

in south. Famous Mahatma Gandhi Setu

(5575m long) over river Ganga connects it

with the state capital Patna; while another rail

and road bridge over Gandak connects it with Sonepur, headquarter of a railway sub-

division under ECR. The plain terrain of town and its nearby places is famous for

banana, Litchi and mango plantations. The region looks green with plants and trees

growing in semi-tropical monsoon climate. However, months of May-June are hot and

December-January is cold.

LANGUAGE

The language spoken by people in daily life is Hindi. Other than Hindi the most

popular language is “Bajjika”. The dialects are not in pure form rather people prefer to

use mixed dialect.

FAMOUS SITES IN VAISHALI

RELIC STUPA

This is one among the eight stupas built over the remains of Buddha. According to

Buddhist traditions, after he attained Mahaparinirvana (forsaking his earthly body),

the Malla kings in Kushinagara cremated his body in a royal ceremony befitting a

Universal King. The ashes were distributed to eight different kingdoms. This was

originally a small stupa, 8 meters in diameter constructed in 5th century BC. Later

during the Maurya, Sunga and Khushan period, it was expanded to 12 meter.

Excavation was carried out by Archaeological Survey of India in 1968 found a relic

casket made of stone partly filled with ashy earth besides a conch, two glass beads, a

fragmentary piece of gold leaf and an embossed copper coin.


Here the Licchavis reverentially encased one of the eight portions of the Master's

relics, which they received after Mahaparinirvana. After his last discourse the

Awakened One set out for Kushinagar, but the Licchavis kept following him. Buddha

gave them his alms bowl but they still refused to return. The Master created an

illusion of a river in spate which compelled them to go back. This site can be identified

with Deora in modern Kesariya village, where Ashoka later built a stupa.

KUTAGARASALA VIHARA

Kutagarasala Vihara is the monastery where Buddha most frequently stayed while

visiting Vaishali. It is located 3 kilometres from the relic Stupa, and on its ground can

be found the Ananda stupa , with an Ashokan Piller in very good condition (perhaps

the only complete Asokan pillar left standing), and an ancient pond.


CORONATION TANK

A few hundred metres from the Relic Stupa is Abhishek Pushkarini, the coronation

tank. The sacred waters of the tank anointed the elected representatives of Vaishali.

WORLD PEACE PAGODA

Next to the coronation tank stands the Japanese temple and the Viśvā Śānti Stūpa

(World Peace Pagoda) built by Japanese Nichiren Buddhist sect Nipponzan-Myōhōji.

A small part of Buddha's relics found in Vaishali have been enshrined in foundation

and in the chhatra of the Stupa.

RAJA VISHAL KA GARH IN VAISHALI

A huge mound with a circumference about one Kilometer and walls nearly 2 m high

with a 43m wide moat around them, is said to be the ancient parliament house. Over

seven thousand representatives of the federal assembly gathered here to legislate and

discuss the problems of the day.
