The worlds first university from India located 55 miles from Patna in Bihar, Nalanda was the largest residential centre of learning in the world with a nine-storeyed library.
The monasteries are built in old Kushan architectural style, in a row of cells around a courtyard. It was the Buddhist centre of learning from 427 to 1197 CE partly under the Pala Empire. It is believed that Buddha visited Nalanda during his last tour through Magadha, and it was there that Sariputta uttered his lion's roar, affirming his faith in the Buddha.
University of Nalanda was established in 450 CE under the patronage of the Gupta emperors, notably Kumara Gupta. Nava Nalanda Mahavihara is devoted to the study and research in Pali Literature and Buddhism
Nalanda had 1500 teacher and 7000 students around the world especially from South Asia. Prof Nagarjuna, who are great philosopher from India worked as GURU.
The Nalanda was built by 3 consecutive rulers of India who are Th great Ashok, Harshwardhn and the Pala Empire. The Nalanda university construed with high rich architecture and with great values.

Nalanda is not only university but also center of spirituality, so that Ashoka constructed lot of temples in Nalanda, and the temples architecture much more advanced than present. Ashoka built a temple only for lord Buddha call Sai Buddha temple surrounded by lot of stupas.
