I have visited Bodhgaya in the month of December 2019.As this place is sacred as Lord Buddha got enlightenment from this place.Lord Buddha visited different places and meet different teachers but was not satisfied and lastly he sir for penance in diverse places at last he attended in Bodhgaya for penance and could get enlightenment in this holy place.The name of temple in which Lord Buddha got light was Mahabodhi temple.Mahabodhi temple was built by Asoka the great.The temple was again implemented by Samundra Gupta of Gupta dynasty and Mahipala of Pala dynasty.But later on temple was demolished by Alauddin Khilji of Khilji dynasty.Temple was completely destroyed.But later on temple was again revive by Alexander Cunningham viceroy of British rule in India.He has great contribution towards the revival of this temple.As temple now is magnificent.I went with my friend as we enjoyed lots and also had a Vipassana meditation training for ten days in Bodhgaya.It was pleasure moment.
