Jivaka's Mango Garden, also known as Jivakameavan Gardens, is an ancient garden located in Rajgir, Bihar, India. It is said to have been the mango grove of Jivaka, the royal physician during the time of Lord Buddha and King Bimbisara. The garden is steeped in history and is considered an important archaeological and religious site. It is believed that Lord Buddha frequently visited this place to meditate and to rest during his sojourns in Rajgir. The tranquil atmosphere of the garden provided a suitable environment for contemplation and teaching.

In a pathetic neglect
This place of such an importance is found in utter neglect. A mango grove could be designed at this place. Sad to see this monument in this state.

Jivaka the ancient doctor
India's ancient medicine expert and doctor Jivaka knew the cure to many diseases using plants and herbs. This garden is named after this legend.

Nothing much
There's actually noting much here, except for the historical significance. One could easily give it a miss. The place is located close to the rope way at Rajgir.
