Rajgir
Also known as: Rajagriha · Rajgriha
The capital of Magadha in Mahavira's time, and a place he returned to repeatedly — a great many of his sermons are set here. Munisuvrata, the twentieth Tirthankara, was born at Rajgir. Temples stand on the five hills that ring the old city, and the site matters to Buddhists for much the same reasons it matters to Jains.
