The Seat of the Buddha's Enlightenment The Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya, Bihar, stands on the most sacred site in Buddhism, the spot where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree. A shrine was first established here by Emperor Ashoka around 250 BCE; the present brick temple, with its roughly 55-metre pyramidal tower, dates largely from the Gupta period of the 5th to 6th century CE, making it one of the oldest brick temples in India.
