Bodh Gaya
Bodh Gaya is a religious site and place of pilgrimage associated with the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Gaya district in the Indian state of Bihar. It is famous for being the place where Gautama Buddha is said to have obtained Enlightenment. The place-name, Bodh Gaya, did not come into use until the 18th century CE. Historically, it was known as Uruvela, Sambodhi, Vajrasana or Mahabodhi. The main monastery of Bodh Gaya used to be called the Bodhimanda-vihāra.
Mahabodhi Temple
The Mahabodhi Temple (महाबोधि मंदिर) is a Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya, the location where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, is said to have attained enlightenment. Bodh Gaya is located about 96 km from Patna, Bihar state, India. Next to the temple, to its western side, is the holy Bodhi tree. In the Pali Canon, the site is called Bodhimanda, and the monastery there the Bodhimanda Vihara. The tallest tower is 55 metres tall.
Bodhi Tree
The Bodhi Tree, also known as Bo (from the Sinhalese Bo), was a large and very old Sacred Fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodh Gaya, under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher later known as Gautama Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment, or Bodhi. In religious iconography, the Bodhi tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed.
Gaya Airport
Gaya Airport (Hindi: गया हवाई अड्डा), also known as Bodhgaya Airport (Hindi: बोधगया हवाई अड्डा), is a public airport serving Gaya, Bihar, India - one of the holiest places of worship for Buddhists around the world. Most of the traffic is due to the nearby temple city of Bodhgaya which is Gautama Buddha's place of divine enlightenment. It is the second busiest airport in Bihar after Patna.
These are some bigger and more relevant cities in the wider vivinity of Jahān Bigha.
