 Kosambi
was a large city in northern India, the capital of the kingdom
of Vaṃsa and the scene of several important events in the life of
the Buddha. The city was surrounded by walls nearly 6 kilometres long
and faced the Yamunā River on the south side. One of the monasteries
built in Kosambi during the Buddha's time, the Ghositārāma, was
identified by archaeologists in 1951 and subsequently excavated. King
Aśoka had a great pillar erected in the city and this can
still be seen amongst the ruins.
