'''Maniawan''' is a village in [[Silao]] subdistrict of [[Nalanda district]], [[Bihar]]. As of 2011, it has a population of 5,368, in 918 households.

== History ==
[[Hiranand Sastri]] identified Maniawan with the village of ''Maṇivāṭaka'' identified in a [[Indian copper plate inscriptions|copper-plate grant]] issued at [[Munger]] by [[Devapala of Bengal]] in the early 800s. The grant identified Maṇivāṭaka as belonging to the ''naya'' (subdivision) of Ajapura (which Shastri identified with present-day [[Ajaipur, Nalanda|Ajaipur]]), in the ''[[vishaya]]'' (province) of Rājagṛha (present-day [[Rajgir]]). In the grant, the revenues from Maṇivāṭaka and several other villages, along with all of their attached fields, pastures, and mango and [[Madhuca longifolia|madhuka]] orchards, were granted tax-exempt for the upkeep of a Buddhist monastery at [[Nalanda]] that had been founded by the king [[Balaputra]] of [[Srivijaya]].<ref name="Sastri 1917">{{cite book |last1=Sastri |first1=Hiranand |author1-link=Hiranand Sastri |editor1-last=Sastri |editor1-first=Hiranand |editor1-link=Hiranand Sastri |title=Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XVII |date=1917 |publisher=British India Press |location=Calcutta |pages=310–27 |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180697/page/n357 |access-date=26 October 2024 |chapter=The Nalanda Copper-Plate of Devapaladeva}}</ref>{{rp|317, 25}}
