For Solo Travellers questions
Why is Sravasti important to Buddhists?
Sravasti is revered as the place where the Buddha spent more rainy-season retreats than anywhere else, traditionally counted as around twenty-four or twenty-five, chiefly at the Jetavana monastery. Much of the Buddhist canon is set here.
What is Jetavana?
Jetavana is the grove and monastery, at the site now called Saheth, that the merchant Anathapindika bought and donated to the Buddha. It became the Buddha's principal residence and is today a peaceful park of stupas, monastic ruins, and the sacred Anandabodhi tree.
What are Saheth and Maheth?
They are the twin archaeological mounds of Sravasti. Saheth is the Jetavana monastery site, and Maheth is the buried ancient city with ruins linked to figures such as Angulimala and Anathapindika. They lie a short distance apart.
