Viharas are the places where the monks or the priests of the Buddhist Cults used to stay. Buddhist Viharas have special importance because they have been constructed with special care and concern so that the rooms are completely free from the outside disturbances, and are also well protected from sunlight and rain.
This has been done specially in order to enable the Buddhist students study the scriptures with patience and attention. We can site the example of the Nalanda University that is locate in Bihar, this is the site where the students used to come from distance areas and study with their masters.
Reputed teachers used to take care of these students and they were given special privilege to teach if they passed with flying colors. Similarly, in Buddhist Viharas of Sanchi, one cannot deny the thick walled rooms of the students, and the technically sound construction in order to ensure healthy and perfect atmosphere that would help in the progress of study in the Monastery.
All these had been the effort of the Buddhists to perpetuate the theme of education among its members so that none of them remain backdated; they are all up to date and the fact that they are no less when compared to any other literate man in any corner of the world.
This is the concrete fact that lightens up the road to think that the Buddhism Cult had been one of the most exuberant and hard working sects in the whole world.
