A brief history about Rajgir

In Bihar, the town of Rajgir is encircled by seven hills. Raj-griha, also known as Rajgir in Prakrit, means “House of the Kings.” Bimbisara, who founded the Great Mauryan Empire, founded Rajgir. Till 5 BC, Rajgir served as the Magadh Empire’s capital. Later, Patliputra became the Mauryan Empire’s new capital. Rajgir is mentioned in the Epic of Mahabharata, which confirms its status as a significant center of Indian trade at the time.
