Bodhgaya - Mahadobhi Temple Attractions

 
Bodhgaya is considered the holiest Buddhist pilgrimage site in the world. Thousands travel to Bodhgaya to join the resident monks in meditation and prayer.

Mahadobhi Temple is next to the spot where Buddha came to Enlightenment and formulated his philosophy on life. The temple was built in the 6th C and underwent extensive restorations from the 11th C to the early 19th C.

Mahadobhi Temple is topped with a pyramidal spire and houses a large gilded statue of Buddha in the yogic posture. The best time to visit is October to March when Tibetan pilgrims travel from Dharamsala.
