Wat Thai Bodhgaya, the first Thai temple in India. This temple is located not far from the Bodhi tree, the place where the great man Siddhattha attained supreme enlightenment and became the Buddha. Therefore, Wat Thai Bodhgaya is considered the main place of residence for Thai Buddhists who have traveled to make a pilgrimage for decades. Currently, the temple is peaceful and shady with trees and mostly green areas. The outstanding structure is the Thai-style chapel (similar to the chapel of Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram) which enshrines a large golden Buddha image and has very detailed and beautiful paintings. #Bodhgaya #Wat Thai Bodhgaya #India #Worship and ask for blessings #Worship and make merit #Pilgrimage sites #Buddhist temples abroad #Land of Buddha #Worship 9 temples #Travel abroad

I had the opportunity to go to India to pay respect to a Buddhist temple, one of which was a Japanese temple. The Buddha statue of Lord Daikojio was a replica of Lord Daibutsu of Japan, with 10 disciples standing around it. I am so happy and blessed. Amen. #India

It was a great opportunity in life that we once went to pay homage to the Buddha in the land of Buddha, India, which is the origin of Buddhism. I felt happy and peaceful and saw the way of life of the Indian people. As a Buddhist, I feel very fortunate and it was not in vain to be born as a human being and meet Buddhism. May everyone who sees this post rejoice in the merit together. #TravelIndia
