The Mahabodhi Temple Complex includes a majestic 55-meter-tall temple, along with six other sacred sites associated with the Buddha's life and enlightenment. This is one of the earliest brick Buddhist temples still standing in India, dating back to the 5th or 6th century CE.   

The complex is centred around a descendant of the original Bodhi Tree under which the Buddha meditated and attained Enlightenment. 

The Mahabodhi Temple Complex is the only living Buddhist site on India’s World Heritage list.  As one of the four most important Buddhist pilgrimage destinations in India, the complex hosts daily rituals, prayers, and vibrant festivals cherished by Buddhists worldwide.   

The centuries-old traditions of offerings, chanting, and meditation continue to thrive here, preserving the living heritage of Buddhism in India.
