Trip: Gaya > Rajgir > Pavapuri > Gaya
Pavapuri was a short while from Rajgir - a drive of two hours. The first glimpse was enough to leave an impression. We parked our car on the roadside and took the only bridge for the majestic marble structure that was visible at the middle of a large lake.
The bridge itself was made of carved red sandstone. The fishes in the lake had been allowed to grow large. The Mahavir Temple, as it grew larger to sight, was a spectacle to watch.
The temple is famous for being the place where Lord Mahavir was enlightened. It is a remarkable coincidence that the two places where Lord Buddha and Lord Mahavir each were enlightened is not more than 50 miles apart.
Sitting on the cool marble stairs of the temple was pleasant with the lake view in front. The lukewarm winter weather of late November morning was complimenting the overall atmosphere. We simply sat and chatted for a while before starting back for Gaya.
