Vasokund

According to a Jain tradition Lord Mahavira, the last of the Tirthankaras, was born at Kundagrama and at Vaniyagrama was his residence, both the places being part of or near Vaishali. While the modern village of Bania can be taken as representing the site of ancient Vaniagrama, the location of Kundagrama is identified with the modern village of Vasokund, about 2 kms northeast of the gadh mound.
