Vikramshila University was one of the two most important Buddhist learning centres in ancient India during the Pala dynasty. It had an equal footing along with Nalanda University in the domain of Buddhist learning.
Vikramshila was established by King Dharmapala when he felt a decline in the quality of learning at Nalanda. The ruins of the ancient university are a sight of marvel as it is a huge square monastery with a stupa in the centre, a library building and a cluster of stupas. A Tibetan and a Hindu temple have also been excavated.
