Pūrṇabhadra Caitya

पूर्णभद्र चैत्य

The grove outside Campā where the Aupapātika sets Mahāvīra's assembly.

A shrine in a wooded park, in the north-east quarter beyond the city wall. The canon puts the preaching here — under trees, on open ground — and this is the setting the later architecture replaces.

Campā was Kūṇika's capital, which is why the king is close enough to walk out.
