Bodh Gaya : A World Heritage Site

It is famous as the place where Gautama Buddha is said to have obtained Enlightenment (Bodhimandala).

For Buddhists, Bodh Gaya is the most important of the main four pilgrimage sites related to the life of Gautama Buddha, the other three being Kushinagar, Lumbini, and Sarnath. In 2002, Mahabodhi Temple, located in Bodh Gaya, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1]
