Vulture Peak (Gijjkhakuta) in Rajgir

On top of this hill are two natural caves, one used by the Buddha and the other by Ananda. This hill is made up of granite rock and looked like a vulture standing with wings folded. At the top, low retaining walls have been constructed for safety reason. Pilgrims carry out puja and circumambulate, reciting virtues of the Buddha. At the bottom of this hill are smaller caves believed to have been used by Sariputtra and Moggalana.

One day as the Buddha was walking up the slopes of Vulture Peak, Devadatta threw a rock from the summit at him. The rock missed the Buddha but a splinter from this rock wounded the Buddha’s foot.
