Gaya is one of India's most sacred pilgrimage destinations, nestled in Bihar along the Falgu River. This ancient city is best known as the site of Bodh Gaya, where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree—a spiritual experience that draws millions of devotees and seekers annually. The Mahabodhi Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as a masterpiece of ancient Indian architecture with intricate stone carvings that tell stories of Buddhist philosophy.
