Welcome to Gaya
Gaya, a revered town in Bihar, is significant for both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. It is home to
the ancient **Prapitaamaheswara Shiva temple**, where pind-daan (ancestral offerings) is performed.
Gaya’s sacredness is described in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, with Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana
performing rituals for King Dasharath here.
Nearby **Bodh Gaya**, where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, makes this
area one of India’s most spiritually vibrant places. With its blend of Shaivism, Vaishnavism,
and Buddhism, Gaya attracts seekers from around the world who seek peace, prayer, and purpose.
