Bodh-Gaya is one of the four pilgrimages for the Buddhists. The four spots - Lumbini in Nepal, where the Lord Budha was born; Saranath near Varanasi, where Buddhism made its first appearance; Kushinagara in Gorakhpur, where Budda attained Mahanirvana and Bodh-Gaya, where he attained enlightenment.

About 2600 years ago, Siddhartha, prince of Kapilavastu, practiced the most rigid austerities under a peepul tree on the bank of Niranjana river at Uruvilva village. After 49 days, he attained the enlightenment on the full moon day of the month of Vaisakha.

3rd century B.C., Emperor Ashoka of Magadha dynasty visited Bodh-Gaya in subsequent times. He sent his daughter Sangamitra to Sri Lanka with a sapling of the peepul(Bodhi) tree under which Siddhartha attained the enlightenment . When the original tree died, a sapling fromSri Lanka was planted here at Bodh-Gaya. The present tree is the fourth generation of the original. It is said that the original of Mahabodhi Templewas built by Ashoka in 289 B.C.
