Hajipur and Ananda's stupa
I chickened out and didn't see Kesaria where the Buddha gave away his begging bowl toward the end of his life. It was about twice as far from Patna as Vaishali and I didn't want to rent a taxi for the day. But Hajipur, where Ananda's stupa is located, is only half the distance from Patna.
Ananda was the Buddha's personal attendant for many years. He was so focused on serving the Buddha, that he's ...

Not happy we go to reception only to be told they are fully booked - drat - they give us the name of another hotel, but the only rooms they had were way too expensive, so we go to another which thankfully is better on the inside than the street would lead you to believe.
