Explanation

Bihar was home to Nalanda, the most famous ancient Buddhist monastery and university, located near Pataliputra (the old capital of Magadha). Nalanda was a major center of Buddhist learning from the 5th to 12th centuries CE. West Bengal, Gujarat, and Orissa had Buddhist sites but none as significant as Nalanda.
