About Jetvan Buddha Vihara & Hiwari Village

Jetvan Buddha Vihara & Tourist Place is situated in Hiwari Village, located roughly 12 km from the main city center of Yavatmal along the Nagpur-Tuljapur Highway. It is a highly peaceful, nature-focused spiritual location set against a lush green forest backdrop. The complex features multiple beautiful statues of Lord Buddha carved in different meditative postures (both in sandstone and metal), well-kept gardens, and a dedicated, quiet atmosphere that makes it ideal for running meditation courses.

The Venue: The location serves as a peaceful community and cultural landmark dedicated to Buddhist practices, meditation, and quiet reflection. Its rural setting in Hiwari Village offers an isolated environment well-suited for intensive meditation practice, free from city disruptions.
The City/District (Yavatmal): Yavatmal is located in the Vidarbha region of eastern Maharashtra. Known historically for its unique geographical landscape and cultural heritage, it is primarily a quiet, commercial town surrounded by nature reserves, historical monuments, and agricultural fields. It experiences hot summers and pleasant winters, making the cooler months between October and February the most ideal time for visitors.
