Mandar Hill

Mandar Hill, a panoramic landscape of 800 ft high granite hill situated 50 KM from Bhagalpur city, is associated with the legendary amritmanthana, or churning of nectar from the sea. Legend has it that the hill was used by Gods to churn the ocean for procuring nectar. Basuki Nag, a holy snake, offered himself to serve as the rope, and the hill has an impression of the coil on it. Puranas also hold that while Lord Vishnu covering the Universe in three steps as Vamana Avatar put his one step at Vishnupad Hill and the other at Mandar Hill.
