Bimbisara's Jail is the site where King Bimbisara was put in prison by his son and heir,
Ajatashatru. The captive king chose this place for his imprisonment because from here, he could see
Lord Buddha climbing up the
Griddhakuta Hill to his mountain retreat. From this spot, one can also get a clear view of the Japanese Pagoda or
Shanti Stupa built atop the hill.
