You need to spend time in this temple to understand the deep rooted history, its story of construction, destruction by Mughal rules and re orientation after excavation during British rule.. very historic temple with immense significance in modern day world.. This is literally the place where one of major religions of the world has come into existence... 😀😀

Mahabodhi Temple is holy place for Buddhist. Land is being given by Hindus for them to take care. This is one of the prime example where two religion deals harmoniously. Just be wary of few Buddhist monks who speaks ill of Hindu practices.

One of the most influential temple in eastern India where people come across the whole world.its history was related with mahatma buddh.The Mahabodhi Temple or the Mahabodhi Mahavihar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an ancient, but much rebuilt and restored, Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya, marking the location where the Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment.Bodh Gaya (in Gaya district).The site contains a descendant of the Bodhi Tree under which Buddha gained enlightenment, and has been a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus and Buddhists for well over two thousand years.The Bodhi tree at Bodhgaya is directly connected to the life of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who attained enlightenment or perfect insight when he was meditating under it. The temple was built directly to the east of the Bodhi tree, supposedly a direct descendant of the original Bodhi Tree.In approximately 250 BCE, about 200 years after the Buddha attained Enlightenment, Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire visited Bodh Gaya in order to establish a monastery and shrine on the holy site.There remains however the Diamond throne, which he had established at the foot of the Bodhi tree.The Diamond throne, or Vajrasana.Additional structures were brought in by the Sungas.but now The Bihar state government assumed responsibility for the protection, management, and monitoring of the temple and its properties when India gained its independence.

The Mahabodhi Temple (literally: Great Awakening Temple) or the Mahabodhi Mahavihar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an ancient, but much rebuilt and restored, Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya, marking the location where the Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment. Bodh Gaya (in Gaya district) is about 96 km (60 mi) from Patna, Bihar state, India.The site contains a descendant of the Bodhi Tree under which Buddha gained enlightenment, and has been a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus and Buddhists for well over two thousand years, and some elements probably date to the period of Ashoka (died c. 232 BCE). What is now visible on the ground essentially dates from the 7th century CE, or perhaps somewhat earlier, as well as several major restorations since the 19th century. But the structure now may well incorporate large parts of earlier work, possibly from the 2nd or 3rd century CE.Many of the oldest sculptural elements have been moved to the museum beside the temple, and some, such as the carved stone railing wall around the main structure, have been replaced by replicas. The main temples survival is especially impressive, as it was mostly made of brick covered with stucco, materials that are much less durable than stone. However, it is understood that very little of the original sculptural decoration has survived.The temple complex includes two large straight-sided shikhara towers, the largest over 55 metres (180 feet) high. This is a stylistic feature that has continued in Jain and Hindu temples to the present day, and influenced Buddhist architecture in other countries, in forms like the pagoda.The BuddhaTraditional accounts say that, around 589 BCE,Siddhartha Gautama, a young prince who saw the suffering of the world and wanted to end it, reached the forested banks of the Phalgu river, near the city of Gaya, India. There he sat in meditation under a peepul tree (Ficus religiosa or Sacred Fig) which later became known as the Bodhi tree. According to Buddhist scriptures, after three days and three nights, Siddharta attained enlightenment and the answers that he had sought. In that location, Mahabodhi Temple was built by Emperor Ashoka in around 260 BCE.The Buddha then spent the succeeding seven weeks at seven different spots in the vicinity meditating and considering his experience. Several specific places at the current Mahabodhi Temple relate to the traditions surrounding these seven weeks :1-The first week was spent under the Bodhi tree.2-During the second week, the Buddha remained standing and stared, uninterrupted, at the Bodhi tree. This spot is marked by the Animeshlocha Stupa, that is, the unblinking stupa or shrine, to the north-east of the Mahabodhi Temple complex. There stands a statue of Buddha with his eyes fixed towards the Bodhi tree.3-The Buddha is said to have walked back and forth between the location of the Animeshlocha Stupa and the Bodhi tree. According to legend, lotus flowers sprung up along this route; it is now called Ratnachakrama or the jewel walk.4-He spent the fourth week near Ratnagar Chaitya, to the north-east side.5-During the fifth week, Buddha answered in details to the queries of Brahmins under the Ajapala Nigodh tree, now marked by a pillar.6-He spent the sixth week next to the Lotus pond.7-He spent the seventh week under the Rajyatna tree.

Nothing gives you a sense of peace and calmness than this spiritual spot. You are not allowed to carry your mobile phones inside the temple ground. The most crowded and happening months to visit is from December to March when there will be continuous flow of Buddhist pilgrims, festivals and Puja. This place is where Lord Buddha attained his enlightenment and regarded as one of the most holy site for Buddhist. Must visit!!!

Incredible place with great history, as this place is reminds us of origin of Buddhism. You should take 40 minutes to visit the full area around temple and if you want to take a guide you can it helps you to know about the history of this place. Mobile phones are not allowed but digital camera are allowed, but there are pictures clicking service inside the temple.The checking staff are not properly behaved so you should take care. If in gaya this should be on your list.

The most recent incarnation of Lord Vishnu to have walked the earth. The temple spreads over an area of a whopping 4.8 hectares and is 55 meters tall. The Bodhi Tree is situated to the left of the temple and is believed to be the direct descendant of the actual tree under which Lord Gautam Buddha meditated and attained enlightenment and laid down his philosophy for life. The original temple was built by Emperor Ashoka after he turned to Buddhism in order to seek peace and solitude from war and conquests.The great Emperor Ashoka visited Bodh Gaya in around 260 BC. During his visit, he constructed a small temple by a tree, which was the Bodhi tree- the tree under which Gautam Buddha was sitting when he attained enlightenment. An inscription dated back to between 1st century and 2nd century read that the temple built by Emperor Ashoka was replaced by a new one. Many monks and devotees can be seen performing countless prostrations to the tree. Its a purificatory ritual, and some monks are known to do up to 1,00,000 prostrations at one time. The architecture of the temple and its overall silence and peace will surely enchant you as you visit it.One of these images is download from internetइन छवियों में से एक इंटरनेट से डाउनलोड है

The Mahabodhi Temple Complex is one of the four holy sites related to the life of the Lord Buddha, and particularly to the attainment of Enlightenment. The first temple was built by Emperor Asoka in the 3rd century B.C., and the present temple dates from the 5th or 6th centuries. It is one of the earliest Buddhist temples built entirely in brick, still standing in India, from the late Gupta period

Calm and peaceful place. Mobile phones(including earphones and charger wires), shoes and big bags have to be deposited in free drop desks outside the Mandir entrance. Any other cameras have to be declared and a paid token has to be taken beforehand.

The most important thing about this place is the sacred tree under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment. Pond is also available there. Mobile phones or any cameras are not allowed to take inside the premise. Instead they will provide us a camera with some charges. Maintenance is fine. Its a perfect place for meditation.
