On hearing news Magadh King Ajatashatru came to him & requested him to attain Nirvana in Magadh. By then Lichhavi had also crossed the river Ganges, therefore, Anand could attain Nirvana at his desired place. Considering this, Anand in order to avoid a war between the two states, immolated himself in the middle of the river Gange with the help of his yogic power. Thus half of his mortal remains went to the Republic of Lichhavi and the other half went to the Kingdom of Magadh. With the half of the mortal remains Lichhavi constructed ‘Anand Stupa’ in Vaishali and Ajatshatru constructed another ‘Anand Stupa’ in Rajgir, Nalanda.
