Mahabodhi Temple Bodhgaya

The Sacred Bodhi Tree


The sacred Bodhi tree - the shades under which the Siddhartha Gautama meditated and attained Enlightenment on the full Moon day of Vaisakh Purnima (May month). This peepal tree's botanical name is Ficus Religiosa. It was under this tree that the Buddha spent the first week in meditation after attaining Enlightenment.
The present tree is probably the fifth succession of the original tree which was earlier destroyed several times by man-made misery and natural calamities.
