Nalanda

Sunday, 15 February 2015

Nalanda was an early center (5th-6th Century CE) of Buddhist learning. At its height, Nalanda University occupied a site 5 km by 10 km. The excavated portion today is much smaller (about 1 sq km).

A monastery.
The remains of the major temple.
Women (and some men) carrying construction supplies.
Should need no explanation!
Pony carts are popular in this part of India.
