Swarna Bhandar is an ancient cave site located in the town of Rajgir in Nalanda District. Literally meaning the 'store of gold', this site is also known as Bimbisara Bhandar or Sonbhandar Caves. Dating back to 500 BC, these rock-cut caves have a lot of historical significance as well as aesthetic value. It is believed that the treasury of King Bimbisara is present in this cave. Swarna Bhandar has two cave chambers that were hollowed out from a huge monolithic rock. The outer chamber is said to be the guard room. On the rear wall of this outer chamber there are two vertical straight lines and one horizontal line cut into the rock which is supposed to be the doorway to the treasury. The second chamber consists of a few traces of seated and standing figures etched into the exterior wall. One can also find ancient inscriptions in Sankhlipi carved on the wall, which is considered to be the clue to open doorway and is not yet deciphered. Situated close to Rajgir, Swarna Bhandar is easily reachable by road. A fascinating place for history students and archaeologists, these caves will also catch the attention of the tourist.

A Peace Pagoda is a Buddhist stupa; a monument to inspire peace, designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds, and to help unite them in their search for world peace. Most (though not all) peace pagodas built since World War II have been built under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), a Buddhist monk from Japan and founder of the Nipponzan-Myohoji Buddhist Order. Fujii was greatly inspired by his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi in 1931 and decided to devote his life to promoting non-violence. In 1947, he began constructing Peace Pagodas as shrines to World peace.[1] Peace Pagodas were built as a symbol of peace in Japanese cities including Hiroshima and Nagasaki where the atomic bombs took the lives of over 150,000 people, almost all of whom were civilian, at the end of World War II. By 2000, eighty Peace Pagodas had been built around the world in Europe, Asia, and the United States. The Nipponzan-Myohoji monks of the New England Peace Pagoda were awarded the Courage of Conscience award June 5, 1998 in Sherborn, Massachusetts.
