Gaya was established as a city in 1865, but the history of this places dates back to long back in time. The city is one of the most holy places for the followers of Buddhism. Bodhgaya is the place where Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and attained supreme knowledge and enlightenment. The city has various such spots where Buddha stayed or spent a few days thus leaving his mark and making it spiritually an important destination.

Moving further to Animesh Lochan Chaitya, a place where Buddha spent one week looking towards the great Bodhi tree out of gratitude, without blinking his eyes. Also we shall se Chankramana, the sacred spot of the Buddha’s meditative perambulations during the third week after the enlightenment. There is famous story that wherever the Buddha put his feet lotus sprang up.
