Just 13 Km from the well-connected Gaya town, Bodhgaya is the paramount pilgrimage destination for Buddhist followers from Cartier Calibre De Replica India and abroad, and it has many Buddhist temples and monasteries. Bodhgaya lies in sylvan solitude and is situated on the bank of river Niranjana (Modern Falgu). The best time to visit is from October to March.
Lord Buddha meditated under a pipal tree in Bodhgaya and attained enlightenment. The tree is called "Bodhi Tree". A descendant of the same Panerai Radiomir Replica tree, still flourishes here. Gaya is also an important Centre of Hindu Pilgrimage where people go to pray for the salvation of their ancestors.
Buddhism as a religion was born and evolved here through his preaching. Several centuries after Buddha's passing away, the Maurya Emperor Ashoka (234-198 BC) revived, consolidated and spread the Buddhism. He built monasteries for the Buddhist monks and the pillars to commemorate numerous historical sites associated with the Franck Muller Heart Replica Buddha's life. Most of these are intact helping scholars and pilgrims alike to trace the life events and spreading of the religion not only in India but also outside the country.
An architectural wonder and world heritage site, Mahabodhi temple signifies truth.

Hieuen Tsang visited this temple in 7th century.
