Kahalgaon is a town and municipality in the district of Bhagalpur in the Indian state of Bihar. It is well-known for ancient Vikramashila, which was founded in the eighth century by Dharmapala, a Pala King. The educational institution acted as a Tantric Buddhism learning centre. A massive Buddhist temple stood at the heart of the structure, flanked by 108 smaller temples.

Places to visit

  • Ajgaivinath Temple : Ajgaivinath Temple in Sultanganj is one of the most well-known Hindu temples devoted to Lord Shiva. The idol in Ajgaibnath's main shrine is thought to be Swayambhu (self-manifester). According to legend, the statue in the Ajgaivinath Temple protruded into Jahnu Muni's ashram. According to legend, while Muni Jahnu was meditating in his ashram, the Ganges on her trip to the ocean startled Jahnu with the ripples of her waves. Muni Jahnu is said to have swallowed the entire Ganges, and Muni Bhagirath saved the Ganges by making an incision on Jahnu's thighs to make room for the Ganges. As a result, the Ganges River was given the name Jahnavi.
