Bodh-Gaya.

The second most famous site in Buddhist history is Bodh Gaya where the Buddha attained enlightenment. Here the Buddha meditated for 49 days under the pipala tree, next to the river Ni Lien Meditation. Because of this immortality, this place has become Bodh Gaya, and the old pipala tree is named Bodhi tree (meaning "enlightened, bodhi tree").

It can be said, Bodh Gaya has become a cradle of Buddhist cultural history and Buddhist disciples are desirous of at least once to visit this place. The Buddha's court sitting meditation, the Bodhi tree are carefully looked after. Large stupas and stone pillars around Bodh Gaya, made by pilgrims from India, China and other countries, make pilgrimage to the shrine, and his records Hsuanzhuang, gave us a glimpse of the glorious landscape of this place in the past more than 2500 years ago. Bodhi tree is now the great tree of thousands of original Bodhi tree, but the leaves are still bloated, large trunk solid.

The Bodhi Tree

It was Alexander Cunningham and a number of other scientists who were the first to unearth the inscriptions and pillar at this Bodh Gaya. Bodhi tower has been restored many times with a huge cost. King Asoka also built a temple at the shrine. The temple built by Asoka was described in Indian art; However, the remains of this temple are no longer visible.

At present, the Great Stupa at Bodh Gaya is nearly 160 feet high and is in quadrangular shape.At the top is a sharp tower. In the tower, people engraved the image Buddha Buddha. North of the tower is a narrow street 4 feet from the ground. It is described as a small path that the Buddha, after enlightenment, has been walking meditation on this path. In addition, there are many lotus shapes that are carved on the road because it is believed that every step Buddha foot there are lotus flower bloom to go there. There is also a red sandstone next to the Bodhi tree, which represents the grass cushion that over 2540 years ago the Buddha sat and witnessed. There are many other carvings that carved images of the Buddha and the great disciples, the Brahma.
