About Bodhgaya

Bodh Gaya is the single most sacred site of Buddhism. It was in the forest here that Prince Siddhartha sat under a tree and achieved enlightenment two and a half millennia ago. From here, he went out as the Buddha to teach his Eightfold Path to the masses. The tree was soon enshrined within a stone fence, and the marking of this holy spot later grew to include a stupa, which was overbuilt by larger and larger stupas, a temple, and other markers (such as stone lotuses) noting just about everyplace the Enlightened One had so much as placed his foot during the period of his epiphany. The famous tree is now called the Bodhi tree (Bodhi is Pali for enlightenment; it's also called a pipal tree, or Ficus religiosa), and the village around it is known as Bodh Gaya.

The actual footprints of Gautam Buddha. It is believed that after the Enlightenment, each step of Gautam Buddha was reflected as a Lotus flower. The big statue of Gautam Buddha at Bodhgaya. Bodhgaya Temple is one of the most important pilgrimage centers related to Buddhism and one of the four holy sites related to the life of the Lord Buddha. This was where it is believed that Buddha received enlightenment or Nirvana. The first temple was built by Emperor Asoka in the 3rd century B.C., and the present temple dates from the late Gupta period. It is one of the earliest Buddhist temples built entirely in brick, still standing in India. Teachings and Preaches are being carried out under the Bodhi tree where Gautam Buddha gain Nirvana. Buddhism originated and spreads from here. Chakra Meditation It was in 500 BC that Gautam Siddhartha, son of King Suddodhana, wandered into Bodhgaya seeking far and wide for enlightenment. He reached the River Falgu close to Gaya and started meditating for three days and three nights. On finally becoming aware of his surroundings, he attained enlightenment, what he was searching for. He traveled to Sarnath and reached there in seven weeks and started spreading his word. The Bodhi tree at the Mahabodhi Temple is called the Sri Maha Bodhi. According to Buddhist texts the Buddha, after his Enlightenment, spent a whole week in front of the tree, standing with unblinking eyes, gazing at it with gratitude. A shrine, called Animisalocana cetiya, was later erected on the spot where he stood. Mahabodhi-tree Bodhgaya-Mahabodhi-Temple2 Buddha-Poornima
