The Ramabhar Stupa-The site of cremation of Lord Buddha
This stupa near a pond called Ramabhar perhaps represents the site of cremation of Lord Buddha. The Buddhist traditions refer to this stupa as "Makutambandhana Chaitya". It was excavated in 1910 A.D. revealing remains of bricks floor and corners of walls in the center and a part of the circular drum which was finally exposed in 1956 A.D. The huge circular drum of stupa measures 34.14m in diameter resting over acicular plinth with two or more Terraces. The main stupa is surrounded by subsidiary structures besides votive stupa of which a large rectangular hall is interesting. A good number of clay seals, ornamental bricks etc. have been recovered in the excavations.
