Valukarama Vihara was a Buddhist monastery or Sangharama in ancient Vesali in eastern India where Second Buddhist Council was held a hundred year after Buddha’s death. The monastery was situated 2.5 miles south-east of the city and was marked by a Stupa. The Chinese traveller Fahien had visisted and located the Second Council stupa close to the Kutagara.[1],[2],[3]
The name of Walukarama Maha Vihara of Sri Lanka[4] seems to be inspired by the ancient Valukarama Vihara of Vesali.
