Historic site in Bihar, India
Kṛmilā was a Buddhist religious and administrative centre located in what is now Lakhisarai district in Bihar. Spread in an area around 25–30 square kilometres, the city has a large number of historical monuments, particularly Buddhist Stupas and Hindu temples. Beglar and Cunningham explored the area and reported on the antiquity of the region in the 19th century.[1]
It is known to contain the first hilltop Buddhist monastery in the Gangetic plains.[2]
