From Kolhua, drive back to the Vaishali museum, which houses archaeological remains discovered at various sites in Vaishali. (A better collection of terracotta figurines, pottery inscribed seals, vessels, coins, ornaments, clay toys can be seen at Patna Museum) Some polished and well cut stone weights in the multiples of 1: 2: 4: 8: 16 together with seals of the guild of traders and bankers adds to the economy and trade links of Vaishali. Close to the museum is circular tin shed to arouse your curiosity. One may dismiss it as a rain shelter amidst a small park but thanks to the board that speaks all about the remains of a stupa under the shed which once housed the Buddha’s funeral ashes which were found in a casket buried in the relic chamber along with a beautiful terra-cotta head of the Buddha (now preserved in the National Museum, Delhi)
