Visit and see how our indian universities are and feel how it was demolished by the people who were always feared about knowledge.

One of the oldest University and Library of the world.The place is located in Kahalgao, Bhagalpur. 6-7 km distance from Kahalgao railway station and few km away from NTPC residential area. A decent place might be attractive for ancient place visitors. If you are a normal person and want to see this place I dont recommend. If you are a tiktoker and one who love to take pictures its all yours.A ticket of around 20 rupees.

Wonderful place for visiting with friends and family.You can easily spend 2-3 hrs. Entry Fees *Per Person ₹20(If you pay online) Or ₹25(If you pay through Cash).Gardens are really well maintained.Drinking water availability.Wheel chair accessibility.Taking about the route:Bhagalpur to Kahalgaoun Road are very rough, you always see jaam on that route. Roads are very slushy and muddy. BIG BIG Pat Holes are there on the road.

Vikramshila University which is situated in antichak near by kahalgaon is similar to the Nalanda University but it is so good from the Nalanda University and it is the best history to see her and all person will come from the other country will must watch here because this is very good place.Constructed in the time of pal dynasty to be precise Dharampal. It was famous for tantarik bhudism. Bkhteyar Khilji and his army destroyed it along with Nalanda University. Decline of Buddhism relegion started with the destruction of these University.Awesome site, but government needs to promote this and make a easy way to reach for interest tourists.This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in bhagalpur or nearby. once you visit this place you will realise why india used to be the education hub in ancient times. the architecture, history, the carvings, everything about these ruins is amazing.If you want to go there please visit in winter season ( October to February).You feel like coming to this place again and again. Though the road is rough yet it is worth the pain. The ruins reminds you of the glorious past and fills you with pride. A must visit for the first timers.

Situated at Antichak in Kahalgaon sub-division, 38 KM from Bhagalpur, ancient Vikramshila University was famous as a Centre of learning during the Pala dynasty. The university was established by the King Dharmpala.Two things impressed Dharmpala and motivated him to establish the university; first, the rocky hillock anchored around the confluence of the Kosi and Ganga rivers at Bateshwar Sthan was not only a scenic attraction but also a popular Tantric site. Second, the Ganga here was Uttar Vahini (flowing northwards) and as such, the place was a pilgrim center which drew large crowds during Varsavardhana

One of the spot for some one who are into history.Beside history also got good scenic view and museum.

A must Historical place to visit... Was much influenced by the architecture the vidhyapith. A peaceful place with a museum , a very big open ground park and the ruins of the Vishvavidyalay.....

Was one of the two most important centres of learning in India during the Pala Empire, along with Nalanda. Its location is now the site of Antichak village, Bhagalpur district in Bihar.Vikramashila was established by the Pala emperor Dharmapala (783 to 820 AD) in response to a supposed decline in the quality of scholarship at Nalanda. Atiśa, the renowned pandita, is sometimes listed as a notable abbot. It was allegedly destroyed by the forces of Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji around 1193.

The ruins of vikramshila is the most popular ruins of vikramshila unvirsity.

Amazing place with ancient history

Nice place

Good place

This will take more effort to reach than Nalanda, but it’s interesting and worth a visit (if you have the time). It shows a more fortified university that was essentially a Buddhism-generator for the entire area. The stupa is inspiring to see and the farm surrounding adds to the charm . For my visit I made the day trip from Bhagalpur , using the 9:30 train to reach. You’ll have to take an auto after arriving at the train station .

Historical Places and good environment. All monuments are very old and they found under lands

Vikramashila was established by the Pala emperorDharmapala (783 to 820) in response to a supposed decline in the quality of scholarship at Nalanda. Atiśa, the renowned pandita, is sometimes listed as a notable abbot. It was allegedly destroyed by the forces of Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji around 1193.A number of monasteries grew up during the Pāla period in ancient Bengal and Magadha. According to Tibetan sources, five great Mahaviharas stood out: Vikramashila, the premier university of the era; Nalanda, past its prime but still illustrious, Somapura, Odantapura, and Jagaddala.[2] The five monasteries formed a network; all of them were under state supervision and there existed a system of co-ordination among them. It seems from the evidence that the different seats of Buddhist learning that functioned in eastern India under the Pāla were regarded together as forming a network, an interlinked group of institutions, and it was common for great scholars to move easily from position to position among them.Vikramashila was founded by Pāla king Dharmapala in the late 8th or early 9th century. It prospered for about four centuries before it was destroyed by Bakhtiyar Khiljialong with the other major centres of Buddhism in India around 1193.Vikramashila is known to us mainly through Tibetan sources, especially the writings of Tāranātha, the Tibetan monk historian of the 16th–17th centuries.Vikramashila was one of the largest Buddhist universities, with more than one hundred teachers and about one thousand students. It produced eminent scholars who were often invited by foreign countries to spread Buddhist learning, culture and religion. The most distinguished and eminent among all was Atisha Dipankara, a founder of the Sarma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Subjects like philosophy, grammar, metaphysics, Indian logic etc. were taught here, but the most important branch of learning was Buddhist tantra.

Its a really nice,peaceful and a place filled with positivity. I really enjoyed there. I would suggest that everyone should go there at once .

History of Buddha awakens here... Go and have a visit... You wont regret

Abhi open hai it is nice place

Famous Buddhist monks were called from here in the 9th century by the King of Tibet to preach their religion.The university had about 160 viharas with more than 3000 indigenous and foreign students studying Buddhist education. The fame of this university was at its peak in the mid-11th century. The name of Dipankar Shri Gyan and Abhyankar, Mitra, gyanshri, vairochan, racshit, jetari, ratnakar was prominent in the famous masters of this university.The entire remains found in excavation work done by Indian Archeology between 1972 and 1982 are preserved in a museum near the Buddhist site.
