ABOUT THE
Attraction
A small village around 20 km from Rajgir, Jethian is an important pilgrimage site for Buddhist devotees. It is said that when king Bimbisara heard Lord Buddha was on his way to Rajgir, he walked out of the city with his entourage to greet him. The two met at Lattivana village in a beautiful grove, now called Jethian. There are several Buddha statues and ruins of Buddhist structures in and around Jethian. There is a large mound with a tank, believed to be the remains of the stupa built over Supatittha Chaitya, the place where Lord Buddha stayed in Jethian.
Situated close to the mound are some magnificent statues of Buddha.
