Bodhgaya

Bodhgaya...we only spent two days there...but I am not quite sure why people rave so much about this chaotic, extremely dusty and noisy place.

This city is the place where supposedly Buddha reached enlightenment under the famous Bodi tree.

The place is filled with monks of all nationalities, and recent monasteries from various countries.

Aside from that, nothing architecturally interesting.

We had assumed before going, that such a holly place would be peaceful, quiet, and filled with positive energy. In other words, the perfect place to meditate and relax.

Unfortunately I believe it has turned victim of its own success, as it is the exact opposite.

Oh well, two days was enough, and good to make a pit stop between Varanasi and Kolkata.
