FAQs On Nalanda
Bihar, India
Historical Legacy:: Nalanda was the world's first residential international university, established in the 5th century CE. It served as a premier center of learning for over 800 years, attracting scholars from China, Korea, and Central Asia. The university flourished under the Gupta Empire and later under King Harshavardhana and the Pala monarchs. It was eventually destroyed in the 12th century by Bakhtiyar Khilji, yet its ruins remain a testament to India's intellectual golden age. Today, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, representing the pinnacle of Buddhist monastic education. Visitors can explore the vast complex that once housed 10,000 students and 2,000 teachers. The site reflects the deep-rooted cultural and spiritual history of the Magadha region. It remains an essential destination for history buffs and spiritual seekers alike. Cultural Significance:: The name Nalanda is derived from 'Na-alam-da', meaning 'insatiable giver of knowledge'. It played a crucial role in the development of Mahayana Buddhism and logic. Prominent scholars like Aryabhata and Nagarjuna are associated with this institution. The university’s library, known as Dharma Gunj, was so vast that it reportedly burned for six months after the invasion.
