From
Kesariya we set off for Vaishali. It took us around 1 and a half hours to reach Vaishali by road.
Kolhua which was a part of the ancient city of Vaishali is famous for being the place where Lord Buddha was offered a bowl of honey by a local chief of monkeys. According to Buddhist literature this event is one of the eight most significant events in Gautam Buddha's life. He spent a lot of time here.
This place is also considered to be very significant because Lord Buddha announced his approaching nirvana, and converted a proud dancer, Amrapali, to a nun. Posting some pictures from Vaishali.
On the way from Kesariya to Vaishali we stopped over at a roadside dhaba to have lunch. It was hot and delicious. Just what we needed!

Nice ranjana but u havnt mentioned a detail info but since it is small so nice...
The reason why Lord Buddha declared Kushinagar where he will attained Parinirvana.
1. its the proper venue to preach his Maha-Sudassana Sutta.
2. It is also said that Subhada would visit him during his sermon in Kushinagar and develop his meditation and would become Lord Buddha arrahant.
