"Rajgir"
means "house of the king". This city was the first capital of the kingdom of Magadha. Its date of origin is unknown,
although ceramics dating to about 1000 BC have been found in the city.
This
place has been associated with both the historical Buddha and Mahavira and is
known because Buddha spent many years meditating here. Rajgir was also developed
as a health and winter resort due to its warm water ponds. These baths are said
to contain some medicinal properties that help cure many skin diseases. The
added attraction of Rajgir is the ropeway that leads uphill to the Shanti Stupa
and Monasteries built by the Japanese Devotees of the Buddha on top of the
Ratnagiri hills.
