Global InformationPipphalivana information
Pipphalivana was the capital of the Moriya republic, a gana- sangha of the Mahajanapada period.[1][2][3] The 7th century CE Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang later referred to it by the name of Nyagrodhavana.[4][5][5][3]
Buddhist texts like the Dīgha Nikāya and Buddhavaṃsa suggest that Pipphalivana was the chief town and capital of the Moriyas.
