About Bodhgaya
The life of Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is associated with the small town of Bodhgaya. Bodhgaya is not only an important Buddhist pilgrimage center on India, but is also a significant center for the study of Buddhist religion. One of the four holiest cities of Buddhist faith, the Mahabodhi temple is the main attraction of Bodhgaya and is located near the spot where Lord Buddha attained spiritual enlightenment. Places associated with the life and times of Lord Buddha are located inside the Mahabodhi complex including the Bodhi Tree and a pond where according to legends, Lord Buddha meditated for a few days.
Visited often by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other Lamas from Dharamshala, Bodhgaya is not merely a historical site but a vibrant Buddhist pilgrimage center of India.
