    Bodhgaya is a major religious destination for the Buddhist devotees. It is the place where Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment 2500 years back. Thousands of devotees flock to this small holy town to pray and seek blessing from the lord.

    Mahabodhi Temple is one of the most prominent religious attractions in the world. This temple is also a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. The 180-feet tall structure rises out of the flat plain land and sprawls across 4.8 acres of land. A yellow sandstone statue of Buddha is enshrined in the temple. It also contains ancient shrines built by the followers of Buddhism.

    Adjacent to the Mahabodhi Temple stands the ancient Bodhi Tree which is known for its religious and spiritual significance. It is believed that the tree you see today is a direct descendant under which Gautam Buddha meditated long back.

    To strengthen the bond between India and Thailand, the Monarch built the Thai Temple in Bodhgaya in the year 1956. A huge bronze statue of Lord Buddha is enshrined in the temple. This shrine showcases the beauty of Thai architecture and its exquisite interior and exterior are a feast to the eyes.

    The Vishwa Shanti Stupa is perched atop the Ratnagiri Hill at a height of 400 meters above the sea level. This stupa is an architectural marvel and draws tourists throughout the year.

    The bamboo forest of Venu Vana was gifted by Bimbisara to Lord Buddha. This tranquil spot houses a huge pond in the center. It is believed that Lord Buddha used to take a bath here before starting his day.

    The 40 kilometers cyclopean walls enclose ancient Rajgir. They were built during the Mauryan period and separated this region from other places. The remains of the cyclopean walls can be seen even today.

    Nalanda is one of the oldest universities in the world that was built during the patronage of the Gupta Dynasty. The legendary Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsang also studied at this reputed institution.

Devotees believe that on major occasions, Gautam Buddha used to visit Vaishali. Today, some parts of this ancient city are excavated by archaeologists.
