Bimbisar jail

Bimbisar jail is an ancient monument in Rajgir in Nalanda district of Bihar in India. It is here, King Bimbisar's impatient son and heir, Ajatashatru, had imprisoned him.

The captive king Bimbisar 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.
