Ajatshatru Fort

This historical monument was built more than 2500 years ago, during the reign of King Ajatshatru. This beautiful tourist place in Rajgir is one of the finest forts built in India till now. This ancient architectural marvel houses many chambers built for the courtiers and the royal family which were embellished with several precious jewels.

One of the major attractions in the Ajatshatru Fort is the Bimbisara Jail, named after Ajatshatru’s father King Bimbisar. King Bimbisar was imprisoned in this jail due to his intense devotion to Buddha. There was also a secret tunnel under the fort whose depth is unknown because of the devastation. You can take photographs here and capture the well-preserved history of the fort. It is a centre of attraction for many history enthusiasts and scholars.
