This years’ my weekend side trip was to Bodhgaya. Bodhgaya is located in the Gaya district of Bihar. Thousands of pilgrims visit Bodhgaya for prayer, meditation & study. It was here that the Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment and became Shri Buddha. The most holy spot in this tiny temple town, is a bodhi tree that flourishes in the middle of a beautiful garden setting, its roots embedded in the same soil as its respected ancestor. I saw many monasteries and temples built by foreign Buddhist communities in Bodhagaya.
