Situated on the Ratnagiri hill, the Vishwa Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda) is a prominent Buddhist pilgrimage site. This stupa is the world’s tallest Peace Pagoda. Built with white marbles, it is a charming place that showcases the four phases of the life of Gautam Buddha through his four golden statues.  The Peace Pagoda is believed to have been built in 1969 by a Japanese Buddhist monk, Nipponzan Myohoji.  The stupa is regarded as the symbol of peace and harmony.

Venuvana

The appealing Venuvana was once the residence of Lord Buddha. It was built by Bimbisar, a powerful Magadh emperor, and it is said that it was his first offer that he made to Lord Buddha. There exists a monastery inside the territory where Lord Buddha used to meditate. There is a Buddha statue, a large lake, with exquisite bamboo grove and flowers to appreciate in the monastery. There is also a Japanese Buddha temple at the back of the garden, which the visitors can explore by visiting there. There are also a number of hotels for visitors to stay near Venuvana.

Swarn Bhandar

The Swarn Bhandar or Son Bhandar caves comprise two artificial caves that are carved from a single giant rock. The main cave has a rectangular and pointed ceiling with a trapezoidal entrance, similar to the Barabar Caves, the first artificial caves. The Swarn Bhandar caves, according to the inscriptions inside the caves, date back to 3rd or 4th century.

Ajatshatru Fort

This fort is an example of architectural beauty, built by the Magadha king, Ajatshatru, during the time of the Buddha i.e. 6th century. The fort also includes a stupa which is extended across 6.5 sq. meters. The stupa is known as the Ajatshatru stupa.
