Dighwa Dubauli Archaeological Mounds

Dighwa Dubauli Archaeological Mounds are ancient mound remains located in Dighwa Dubauli village in Saran District, Bihar. The site comprises two prominent mounds, the larger believed to be the remains of a Buddhist stupa. Excavations have revealed structures and antiquities ranging from the Mauryan to Gupta periods. Protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, it is notable for its early Buddhist association and archaeological importance in the Saran region.

Visitors can expect a rural, open archaeological site with two earthen mounds in an agricultural landscape. The larger mound is the main stupa mound with exposed brick structures and excavated remains. There are no elaborate visitor facilities or reconstructed monuments. The setting is quiet and undeveloped, suitable for observing ancient brickwork, mound topography, and understanding the site's archaeological context. Access is via village paths.

Dighwa Dubauli is an ancient settlement and Buddhist site with remains spanning the Mauryan period to Gupta period. Excavations conducted in the early 1960s exposed a stupa structure and associated antiquities including pottery, terracottas and brick constructions. The site indicates long-term occupation and Buddhist activity in the region and is listed as a centrally protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India.
