Bigger than Borobodur

The biggest stupa ever built.
Kessaria; the ancient Kessaputta.
Here Sakyamuni taught the Kamalas.
Here he gave his begging bowl to the Lichivis,
And turned them back to Vaisali,
Before departing for Kusinara.


View from the stupa

"Their town was located at the entrance of a thick forest. Whoever wanted to go through the forest had to stop at the town for a night or so. "
