Kadian's Takshila Maha Buddha Vihara in Ludhiana remains a little-known monastery where Buddhism isn't just preached, it's gently lived. Amid the clang of industrial life, the vihara stands as a silent haven, inviting those seeking tranquillity and introspection. Not many realise that Ludhiana, a city known more for its factories and traffic, is also an abode of Buddhist practice.
