NAVA NALANDA MAHAVIHARA
In the early 1950s, in order to revive the lost glory and heritage of ancient Nalanda Mahavihara, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of the Republic of India, declared that the ancient seat of Buddhist learning at Nalanda would be revived. At the insistence of Ven. Bhikshu Jagdish Kashyap and with this goal in mind, the Government of Bihar established a research institute called ‘Magadh Institute of Post-Graduate Studies and Research in Pali and Allied Languages and Buddhist Learning’ at Nalanda in 1951. It later came to be known as Nava Nalanda Mahavihara (NNM). Its red colour emblem has an eight petalled lotus ‘Yantra’ on a pedestal supported on both sides by seated deer. The name of the institution in Devanagari is written below. All are placed in a circular housing.
