Know about Shravasti City:

History of Shravasti teerth begins with the formation of Janpad’s by Yugadidev Shri Adishwar Prabhu. This place was the capital city of North Kaushal Janpad. Many Jain Kings such as King Jitari, the father of the third Teerthankar Shri Sambhavnath Bhagwan, and others passed here after Bhagwan Adinath. King Prasanjeet ruled this place at the time of Bhagwan Mahaveer. He was a loyal follower of Prabhu Veer. The main listener of Prabhu Veer King of Magadh Samrat Shrenik has wedded the sister of King Parasanjeet. This was also called by the names Kunal Nagari and Chandrikapuri in the old days. Many Jain temples and Stoops (pillars) were present in this city. It is specified in history that greater king Samrat Ashok and his grandson King Samprati also constructed many temples and Stoops at this holy place. This teerth place is also described in “Brihatkalp”. Chinese traveler Fahiyan has also described this holy place in his memories of traveling to India during the 5th century AD. One more Chinese traveler from the 7th century BC, Hun-Yen-Sang, has described this place as Jet van Monastery. Later this was called Manikapuri. This was ruled by King Mayurdhwaj during 900 AD, by King Hansdhwaj during 925 AD, by King Makardhwaj during 950 AD, by King Sudhavadhwaj during 975 AD, and by King Suhridhwaj during 100 AD. All of them were Jain Kings belonging to Bhar Vansh. Dr. Bennet and Dr. Vincent Smith have also specified them as Jain Kings. Work done by King Suhridhwaj for strengthening the religion and defending the temples in his empire from Muslim attacks will always be taken as a great reminder of history.

• Kacchi Kuti

  Kacchi Kuti is one of the significant excavated structures situated inside Mahet and is among the two mounds located in the Mahet area. Kachchi Kuti is situated a few mts. ahead & in the southeast direction of Pakki Kuti. Inscriptions, found on the lower portion of an image of Bodhisatva excavated from this site, reveal that this structure dates back to Kushana Period. Evidence shows that this site has been renovated several times subsequently. The site has been considered to be associated with the Brahmanical temple by some scholars while another group of scholars quoting some Chinese pilgrims Fa-Hien & Hiuen Tsang associate this site with the Stupa of Sudatta (Anathpindika).

• Pakki Kuti

  Pakki Kuti is one of the largest mounds found in the Mahet area. It has been identified as remains of the stupa of Angulimala as referred to by famous Chinese travellers Fa-Hien & Hiuen Tsang & also by Cunningham while some other scholars relate it to the ruins of ‘Hall of Law’, supposed to have been built by Prasenjit in honor of Lord Buddha. The structure has undergone a number of subsequent alterations and additions. It appears to be a terraced stupa built on a rectangular plan. The supports and drains were provided to the structure as a preventive measure during the time of excavation. The general layout of the structural remains represents constructional activities of different periods, of which the earliest may be assigned to the Kushana Period.
