Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya — view 2
The Bodhi Tree is a sacred fig tree in Bodh Gaya, known as the tree under which Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment around the 5th century BCE. The current tree is a descendant of the original, which was venerated as the site of the Buddha's awakening and has been a pilgrimage destination for centuries. Visitors often spend time in meditation or reflection in the surrounding Mahabodhi Temple complex, which features intricate carvings and an impressive stupa. Best visited in the cooler months, the area can get crowded during major festivals, but the serene atmosphere offers a quiet opportunity for contemplation.
