The Mahabodhi Temple is the most remarkable temple in Bodhgaya. The basement of the temple is 48 sq ft and rises into the slender pyramidal form with the total height of 170 ft. The top of the temple is embellished with chhatras symbolizing the sovereignty of religion. The four towers on its four corners guard the temple. Within the sanctum sanctorum is a prodigious statue of Buddha in a sitting posture with his right hand touching the ground. The statue is made of black stone but gilded by the devotees. The entire courtyard of the temple has numerous varieties of stupas both votive and decorative.
