Ajanta & Ellora Bodhgaya Gaya Kapilavastu Kaushambi Kushinagar Ladakh Lumbini Nalanda Nagarjunakonda Nagarjunasagar Orissa & Buddhism Rajgir Sanchi Sankisa Sarnath Sikkim Sravasti Tabo Tawang Vaishali	THE PLACE : Kaushambi, 54 kms from Allahabad, was visited by Buddha in the 6th and 9th years after his enlightenment. He delivered several sermons here, elevating it to a centre of learning for Buddhists. Today one can see the ruins of an Ashokan Pillar, an old fort and the Ghositaram Monastery. The archaeological excavations here have yielded a large number of sculptures and figurines, coins, punch-marked and cast coins and terracotta sculptures which show the reverence the city was held in by the devout, in times gone by. All these religious finds of historical and archaeological importance can be viewed at the Allahabad Museum.
