Map of Buddha’s India

SuttaCentral has just deployed a map of India as it is known in the Early Buddhist Texts. The map depicts the towns, cities, countries, and other places of interest in the Buddha’s life. But by plotting these on an interactive contemporary online map, they hope to bring the Buddha’s world a little closer.

The map will normally show up in SuttaCentral beside the results in the dictionary pages for relevant places. For example, here is the entry for Vesali.
