How To Reach Bodhi Tree
Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India
Sub Place Details: The Bodhi Tree is the most sacred site in Bodh Gaya, representing the exact spot where Prince Siddhartha Gautama attained spiritual enlightenment to become the Buddha in 589 BCE. This ancient fig tree, specifically a Ficus religiosa, is situated directly behind the main Mahabodhi Temple and serves as the primary focal point for millions of Buddhist pilgrims globally. While the original tree was destroyed several times by historical figures like King Shashanka, the current tree is a direct descendant, planted in 1881 by Alexander Cunningham from a sapling brought back from Sri Lanka. The site radiates an intense spiritual energy, with the golden Vajrasana (Diamond Throne) marking the seat of stability where the Buddha sat facing east. Visitors often witness monks from various traditions—Tibetan, Thai, and Vietnamese—chanting in a harmonious symphony of devotion under its expansive canopy. The fallen leaves of the tree are considered highly auspicious and are often collected by devotees as sacred relics.
