Gaya Pilgrimage Notes
Quiet mornings at Mahabodhi Temple - chanting under the Bodhi Tree, slow walks around the inner courtyard, and the hum of pilgrims from every corner of the world.
Bihar, India
Reasons it matters
- Join the 5 AM meditation at the Mahabodhi Temple shrine hall
- Circle the Bodhi Tree walkway barefoot to absorb the stillness
Mahabodhi Temple, Bodh Gaya

Access via the south gate; deposit phones at the cloakroom before entering the main shrine.
