Gulbarga's association with Buddhism has been dated back to 3rd and 4th century BC. Buddha Vihar is one such attraction that depicts the bygone era in this place. Right next to the Gulbarga University, in the outskirts, is the Buddha Vihar. The massive six-foot idol of Buddha here is made out of black and has a glossy finishing. There are also gold-plated idols of smiling Buddha along with his disciples, Anand and Kashyap, which has been imported from Bangkok.
The intricately carved doors add to the beauty of the place. There is a museum, guest houses, a dining hall and an auditorium within the temple complex. The temple complex is built in an area of 75 acres and the main structure has a resemblance with the Ajanta and Ellora sculptures.
