Present in the interiors of Bihar, Vaishali is a small district which is also a revered Hindu, Buddhist and Jain worshipping site. The city is the place where Lord Mahavir was born. The city is also famous as Lord Buddha delivered his last sermon. Lord Buddha's last sermon was held here in Vaishali, which marks the town as an extremely significant center for Buddhism. King Ashoka, who embraced Buddhism after the massacre of Kalinga, he decided to erect one of his remarkable pillars here.

The epic Ramayana tells the story of the heroic King Vishal who ruled here. Historians maintain that one of the world's first democratic republics with an elected assembly of representatives flourished here in the 6th century B.C. in the time of the Vajjis and the Lichchavis. And while Pataliputra, capital of the Mauryas and the Guptas, held political sway over the Gangetic plain, Vaishali was the center for trade and industry.
Vaishali is surrounded by groves of mango and banana and extensive rice field, it is now a part of Trihut division of Bihar. The city is an important religious and historical attraction site and is flocked by tourists year in and year out.
