Bodhgaya One-Day Sightseeing Tour from Patna Overview

It is in Gaya that, under a Banyan tree known as the Bodhi Tree, he achieved the Enlightenment and the religion of Buddhism was born. The Temple of Mahabodhi, to the east of the Bodhi Tree, is a 170-foot-tall visual treat for the soul. This beauty was declared UNESCO’s World Heritage Site 15 years ago. Its brilliant architectural intricacies, especially the roof of the shrine, which soars like a pyramid, are absolutely marvellous. It is believed that the foundation of the shrine was laid by King Ashoka, and then the major construction was done during the reign of the Gupta Empire. As Buddhism insidiously faded from India, the temple was eventually deserted. It was finally revived by archaeologist Sir Alexander Cunningham in 1883 with various tough excavation efforts. The statue of Lord Buddha is painted with gold and was carved by the Pala Kings of Bengal from a black stone, where he is seen in an earth-touching seating position. Travelers can witness a serene atmosphere filled with monks reflecting over the scripts of Dharma and meditating all over the temple complex.
