The Mahabodhi Temple Complex: Lord Buddha's Sacred Place of Enlightenment

The Mahabodhi Temple is one of the earliest and most impressive Buddhist temples in India that was constructed entirely in brick. “Outstanding universal importance as it is one of the most revered and sanctified places in the world.” It is a beautiful and holy place of worship that commemorates the pivotal moment in Lord Buddha’s life when Prince Siddhartha achieved enlightenment and became the Worshipped “World-Honored One.” This revered site reminds us to escape the distractions of our illusory world and to go inward to awaken our inner greatness.
