Stupa at vaishali
History
Jainism at Vaishali
Relic stupa …
Near the coronation tank is Stupa 1 or the
Relic Stupa. Here the Licchavis
reverentially encased one of the eight
portions of the Master's relics, which they
received after the 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.
