Lord Mahavira was born here while Lord Buddha delivered the last of his sermons at Hajipur and also declared his Parinirvana. An old city Hajipur has several interesting sites to see. The best way to reach Hajipur is to fly to Patna airport which is just 30 km away and thereafter take a taxi to reach your location in Hajipur.
