Bodhgaya - बोधगया

"Bodh Gaya is the place where Gautama Buddha attained unsurpassed, supreme Enlightenment. It is a place which should be visited or seen by a person of devotion and which would cause awareness and apprehension of the nature of impermanence". The life of Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is associated with the small town of Bodhgaya. It is one of the holiest dities of Buddhist faith. Tread reverently along the ancient path. Begin with the Mahabodhi tree where something strange happened-realization of truth or spiritual illumination. The tree still appears to radiate an aura of abiding serenity, spiritual solitude and peace. Tradition states that the Buddha stayed in Bodhgaya for seven weeks after his enlightenment. Each week was spent in a different of the temple complex.
