Temples in Rajgir
One temple in Rajgir carries a written guide — the darshan window, the nearest station and the locality, so you know when to arrive and how far it is from the platform. Any others we know of are named here until a guide is written for them.
Dedicated to Shiva.

One temple documented in Rajgir, with darshan timings and how to reach.
A temple page is a guide. Its badge and its sevas appear here only where a signed agreement with the temple is live and unexpired; everywhere else what you can book is an independent verified pandit.
The temples of Rajgir
Rajgir's shrines are the hot springs. Brahmakund on Vaibhava hill is the hottest of them, the water led through stone spouts into tanks with a Shiva shrine beside them, and bathing there is a step in a rite rather than an amenity — the site is used the way a ghat is used.
The town was Rajagriha, capital of Magadha, and is sacred to Hindus, Buddhists and Jains at once; the hills around it carry shrines of all three. The Malamas fair in the intercalary month is when the springs are fullest and the one period nothing else can be planned around.
The kunds are reached by a stepped path from the road and the bathing tanks are separate for men and women. The water is genuinely hot — about forty-five degrees at the spouts — so the bathing itself is brief, and most visitors combine it with the ropeway and the hill shrines above. The Malamas fair in the intercalary month is the one period the site is too full for any of that.
Nalanda's ruins are fifteen kilometres away and Pawapuri about the same, so the three are one circuit rather than three destinations. Gaya and Bodh Gaya are ninety minutes south, which makes a two-day loop the usual shape of a visit to any of them. The three sites are within twenty minutes of each other by road, and a single car does the loop comfortably.
