About Bodh Gaya
The Bodhi tree beneath which Siddhartha attained enlightenment still grows here, drawing Buddhist pilgrims from across Asia who meditate in the temple's shadow. The Mahabodhi Temple represents early brick temple architecture while countless monasteries surround the sacred tree. This is Buddhism's holiest site, where the religion's founder achieved his transformative realization.
