The Ruins of the Ancient World's Great University Nalanda Mahavihara is the excavated red-brick ruin of a great Buddhist monastic university in Nalanda, Bihar, India, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 2016. Founded in the 5th century CE under Gupta patronage, it operated for around seven centuries and drew scholars from across Asia, including the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang, who studied and taught here.
