Vishal (विशाल) is a name for males. Vishal means great, grandeur, magnificence, prominence, and eminence. The meaning is also attributive to the property of being grand.
The word Vishal finds its origins in the ancient language of Sanskrit. Vishal is also a common adjective found in North and South Indian languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu and Gujarati.
Vishalta (Hindi & Sanskrit: विशालता) comes from the word Vishal and is a state of mind that is often embraced by different religious and spiritual leaders in India. The word embodies the ultimate state of selflessness, or belief that the body, mind, and all worldly possessions belong to God. One in a state of Vishaltha believes that the body is only a tool for carrying out the wishes of the Lord.
It has been suggested that one of Buddha's favorite resorts, Vaishali, was named after King Vishal, a ruler during the times of Ramayana. There exists several ancient buddhist monuments as well as a large, but ruined fort, which is believed to be built by King Vishal.
