Name ‘RAJGIR’ came from ‘Rajagriha’ meaning ‘house of the king’ , ‘royal house’, or ‘the home of royalty’ the word Rajgir might have its origin in its plain literal meaning, ‘royal mountain’.
Rajgir (historically known as girivraj) is an ancient city and a notified area in Nalanda District in the Indian state of Bihar. The city of Rajgir (ancient Rājagṛha; pali: Rājagaha) was the first capital of the Magadhakingdom, a state that would eventually evolve into the Mauryan Empire. City finds mention in India's greatest literary epic, the Mahabharata, through its king Jarasandha. Its date of origin is unknown, although ceramics dating to about 1000 bc have been found in the city. The famous 2,500-year old cyclopean wall (cyclopean masonry) is located in the city. This area is also notable in Jainism and Buddhism. It was the birthplace of the 20th Jain tirthankarMunisuvrata and is closely associated with the Arihant Mahavira and Gautama Buddha. Both lord Mahavira and lord Buddha taught their believes in Rajgir during the 6th and 5th century BC. The ancient Nalanda University was located in the vicinity ofRajgir, and the contemporary Nalanda University named after it was founded in 2010 at Rajgir. It was also through Rajgir that the Mauryan emperor Ashoka travelled to Bodh Gaya around 250 BC,
when placing the diamond throne (vajrasana) at the great temple where lord buddha attained enlightenment.
Rajgir has also developed as a health and winter resort due to its warm water ponds. These warm water ponds said to contain some medicinal properties that help in the cure of various kind of skin diseases. Another attraction of the region is the ropeway that leads uphill to the Vishwa shanti stupa (peace pagoda), Makhdoomkund, Sheetalkundand Japanese Temple of Buddha built by Japanese devotees.
