About
The Vulture Peak, also known as the Holy Eagle Peak or Gridhrakūta, was, according to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha's favorite retreat in Rajagaha – now Rajgir, located in Bihar, India. It is so named because it resembles a sitting vulture with its wings folded, and was the scene for many of his discourses.
