About this

Mahabodhi Temple

The Mahabodhi Temple is a major Buddhist pilgrimage site located in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India. The complex centers on a tall brick tower built in the 5th–6th century CE and is believed to mark the spot where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The temple grounds include the original tree’s descendant, stone railings from the Mauryan and Shunga periods, votive stupas, and several smaller shrines. The site is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage property and continues to serve as an active place of worship and meditation for Buddhists from around the world.
