Bodh Gaya, located in the Indian state of Bihar, is one of the most sacred pilgrimage destinations in Asia and the spiritual heart of Buddhism. It is the place where Siddhartha Gautama, later known as the Buddha, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree more than 2,500 years ago. For Buddhists around the world, a pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya is a profound and deeply meaningful journey.
