Kesaria is located in the district of East Champaran 40 km from its
headquarters Motihari. It is reported to have the tallest and the
largest Buddhist Stupa in the world, following its discovery in 1998
through excavation by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Rising
to a height of 104 feet, and much reduced than its reported original
height, it is still one foot taller than the famous Borobodur Stupa in
Java. The Stupa is located near the town of Kasaria, 120 km from Patna,
capital of Bihar.
