Venu Van is a historical park associated with Buddha located at Rajgir in Nalanda district, Bihar. During Lorda Buddha’s stay in Rajgir, Bimbisara gifted him the royal park known as Venu Van (literally, ‘bamboo forest’). There is a small pond inside known as Karandak tank. The forest was a favourite of Lord Buddha, who used to take a bath in the Karandak tank before going to teach his disciples on Giddha Kuta hill. It is said that Bimbisara once spent a night with Lord Buddha here as he got late after taking a bath in the warm springs nearby and the city gates had closed.
