As often, it is both a Jain and Buddhist pilgrim place.
Here is the place where the buddha used to teach.

The team
Just a few steps down here is the place where it is said that Angulimal lived. This guy had made the vow to kill 1000 humans. He was keeping one finger of each in a garland around his neck. Out of compassion, the buddha taught him and he finally became an arhant, which means he also became a buddha.
Nowadays there are only a few Indian and French jerks in there.
MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY !
