Serene and quiet this tiny little
village, holiest among holy places is Bodhgaya, Where
the quest of Prince Siddharth was fulfilled after years
of seeking the truth and the saga of Buddha began. He
attained the supreme enlightenment and became 'The Buddha',
the enlightened one. Thus Buddhism was born here under
the Peepal Tree. The Prince had been wandering in search
of supreme peace for long six years hither and thither.
But it was at Bodhgaya only where his holy mission was
achieved. Bodhgaya has naturally developed into the
most sacred spot for Buddhists from all over the world,
especially the affluent south East Asia.
