Mahabodhi Temple

The Mahabodhi Temple Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site in India, is an ancient Buddhist temple renowned for its historical and spiritual significance. Built around the 3rd century BCE and later expanded, it marks the location where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The complex features a striking 55-meter-high pyramid-shaped tower, intricate carvings, and serene courtyards, reflecting a blend of architectural styles from different periods. It remains a vital pilgrimage destination and a symbol of Buddhist heritage.
