The centerpiece of Bodh Gaya, this ancient brick temple is an architectural marvel. Its towering spire reaches 55 meters and is adorned with intricate carvings that depict scenes from Buddha’s life. The temple houses a gilded statue of Lord Buddha in the “touching the earth” mudra, symbolizing enlightenment.

The Sacred Bodhi Tree
Beside the temple stands the revered Bodhi Tree, believed to be a direct descendant of the original tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. Pilgrims meditate, chant, and circumambulate this sacred site in silent reverence.
