Bimbisara's Jail

BIMBISARA'S JAIL

According to Buddhist literature, his impatient son and heir Ajatashatru, after become King had imprisoned his father King Bimbisara here. The captive king chose this site for his incarceration, for, from this spot he could see Lord Buddha climbing up to his mountain retreat atop the Griddhakuta hill. There is a clear view of the Japanese Pagoda. The stupa of peace was built on the top of the hill.
