size= 200px Pipphalivana was the capital of the Moriya republic, a gana- sangha of the Mahajanapada period.[1][2][3] The 7th century CE Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang later referred to it by the name of Nyagrodhavana.[4][5][5][3]

Some say that Pipphalivana probably lay between Rummindei (Lumbini) in the Terai region of Nepal and Kasia in the modern-day Gorakhpur district.[3]
