Baliraajgadh is an archaeological site located in Madhubani district of Bihar, India. It has been claimed by some scholars to be the location of the ancient city of Mithila.[1][2]

In Xuanzang's record, two clans were linked with Vajji/Mithila by 646: Vaishali and Vrijji. Vaishali was both Buddhist and Hindu while Vrijji was predominantly Hindu and the capital of it Zhanshuna (占戍挐, possibly from Sanskrit "Cemśoṇa/Cansuna").[3]
