Telia Bhairav (Black Buddha Temple)

Nalanda · India

Telia Bhairav (Black Buddha Temple)

A local shrine near the ruins built around a large black stone Buddha image.

Telia Bhairav, known locally by that name but popularly called the Black Buddha Temple, centres on a large dark stone Buddha statue found near the ruins. It draws visitors from Thailand, China, and other Buddhist countries alongside local worshippers, functioning as a living shrine rather than a preserved monument. The contrast between its modest structure and the weight of devotion it attracts is part of its appeal.
