The ancient University of Nalanda, located in present-day Bihar, India, was a renowned center of learning in ancient times. Founded around the 5th century CE, it reached its zenith in the 7th century under the patronage of the Gupta and Pala empires. Nalanda was a Buddhist center of education, attracting scholars from various parts of the world. The university complex was vast, comprising classrooms, libraries, meditation halls, and living quarters for students and teachers. Nalanda was particularly known for its emphasis on the study of Buddhist philosophy, but it also offered courses in various subjects like astronomy, medicine, logic, and linguistics. The university had a library named "Dharmaganja," which was said to be one of the largest libraries of ancient times. Nalanda's decline is often attributed to invasions, with the most significant being the 12th-century sack by the Turkish invader Bakhtiyar Khilji. The destruction of Nalanda marked a turning point in the decline of Buddhism in India. Despite its demise, Nalanda remains a symbol of India's ancient educational and cultural heritage, and efforts have been made to revive its legacy through modern Nalanda University in the same region.

@@jayantkamble6082 Oh wow so can please tell me how Nalanda university use to exist before Gautam Buddha. And how Nalanda university structure no 2 dedicated to Siva temple. And how in Nalanda site discovered idols of ganesh, Siva and Parvati. Nalanda university was said to Buddhist university by Cunningham but latter research of HD Sankalia show it that it was running 60 subjects including Vedas evidence available in Sanskrit inscription. And lastly we all know for Ayurved purpose university got burnt . Many Brahmins got burnt in this university mentioned by KHILJI. I am also ARCHAEOLOGIST dude.

[@jayantkamble6082]

@@aniruddhbahuguna5462 All of those deities were not Hindu deities but Buddhist tantric deities, their role in Buddhism very different from role presented in Hinduism, they are pupil of Buddha and devotees. As Chinese travelers mentioned Buddhists monks have welcomed non Buddhist doctrines, it doesn't cut its Buddhist roots. There are thousands of manuscripts speak about Buddhist contribution in medicines in ancient india. Ayurveda is basically traditional medicine. Buddhism has huge in it. The premise was itself discovered on basic of Buddhist sources, no hindu scriptures mentioned about Nalanda Mahavihara. Do you want to say such huge institution was unknow to Hindus though they were present there? Nalanda is obviously a Buddhist mahavira.

[@jayantkamble6082]

@@aniruddhbahuguna5462 Show me the inscription mentioned of 60 vedic subjects were taught there.😂 The curriculum of the Mahavihara is known out of travelogue of Chinese monks, they mentioned there such subjects were taught and huge building of space observation centre was present there by which buddhist monks used to observe and analyse spatial subjects.

Being Indian muslim i want to say Sir apj kalam, myself and many like me who are born,brought up in this bharat maa are always ready for securing and harnessing the pride of nation, Baktiyar khilji is outsider he will never understand the belongingness, And First AYAT OR line of Qur'an is IQRA means Read/recite which highlights the importance of education along with this respecting the educational institutions and guru/teachers, Sufi saint always highlights this attribute to be followed,and these teachings can not be understood by persons with looting, exploitative and greedy mindset.....

Thanks to the high standards of National Geographic India, the geographical location of this ancient university (mahavihara) was left unmentioned. While its location in the present-day Nalanda district in Bihar may sound obvious, the norm is to mention such information (along with the time of establishment) explicitly at the beginning of such a feature.

All proud Bihari's to wake up, and request the Central Govt. to bring up the university to the world class, as the religious monuments are given importance . I doubt, the present govt. Will be able to concentrate on this, even try to step up, As Ayodhya and Varanasi are rebuilt. It required the mettle, and calibre to bring up and have replenished with manyfold books and reference material, at Nalanda, as an incomparable Library in the world. JaiHind. Remnants of bhaktiyar Khilji's atrocity, to be kept to teach the young minds, the difference of Barbarians and cultured civilisation.

Yes definitely it happens ONLY in India that even after loosing such treasure people hesitate to call out names.. instead then name landmarks on them. Nalanda, Takshshila, Vikramshila, Vallabhai are lost treasures. If anyone is taking pride in the name of destroyer then my friend you are disillusioned, you have absolutely no idea what has been lost. The least you can do is to stop glorifying the Monsters just for the reason... everyone knows.! Get well soon.
