Bodh Gaya has witnessed multiple terror attacks over the past decade including the nine serial explosions that the Mahabodhi temple complex in July 2013. In January 2018, unidentified terrorists planted improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at three places inside the world heritage site, Bodhgaya temple complex. One of the IEDs planted by the suspected terrorists went off but security officials were able to detect the other two.

I sat in meditation under the Bodhi tree. A breeze caressed my cheek, and I could hear the birds. The tree is a descendant of the original Bodhi tree; the birds are descendants of the birds that sang when the Buddha sat here, and I am a continuation of the Buddha. I can touch my Buddha nature in this moment and I am connected to all beings, including my parents who steadfastly turned me toward the Buddhadharma. I feel connected to my uncle Chuong who taught me the meaning of the leaf that adorned his Vietnamese Buddhist scout uniform. There was silence, except for chanting when I circumambulated the Mahabodhi temple with my fellow pilgrims. With each step, I walked for my parents who may not have a chance to make the journey to Bodhgaya and for my dear uncle who, due to illness, can no longer walk.

Chinese national Song Xialolan, 50, detained by Bihar Police at Bodhgaya on Thursday over suspicion of her involvement in anti-Dalai Lama activities, had first arrived in Delhi on December 20 from Dharamsala by bus, before she proceeded to Bodhgaya on December 22 by train. In Bodhgaya, she took shelter in a guest house on Maharani road. Her main motive- to trail Dalai Lama.

Police sources told THE WEEK that Song was stuck in Dharamsala during the entire Covid period and would follow Dalai Lama. So post-pandemic, when the Nobel Laureate decided to travel, Song also picked up her bag to follow him to Bodhgaya.

Sounding alert, the security has been beefed up around the Mahabodhi Temple Complex with the screening of devotees being intensified. "Input has come that a Chinese woman is living in Gaya. We were getting inputs for last 2 years. Searches are underway. At present, Chinese woman is not being located, due to which many suspicious points are being raised. Suspicion of being a Chinese spy can't be ruled out," SSP Gaya Harpreet Kaur said.

At the heart of ancient Bodh Gaya is the Mahabodhi Temple Complex, which is busy with shrines, monuments, and sculpted images established over more than 2,000 years. Three of the most important monuments will be discussed in this essay:

From depictions of Bodh Gaya in art dating from the 2nd century B.C.E and early narrative accounts it can be surmised that devotion at this site initially focused on the Bodhi tree itself. It is likely that this tree was surrounded by a wooden enclosure-shrine (Sanskrit, bodhi-ghara) by the 3rd century B.C.E., if not before.

Indeed a major Shaiva (pertaining to the Hindu god Shiva) monastery was established just north of the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in the 18th century C.E., and this community of renunciates (people who renounces earthly pleasures and lives as ascetics) assumed administrative control of the complex around this time. Until recently the Shaiva Mahant (head of monastery) took up residence in a small building just opposite the Mahabodhi Temple and worshipped images of Buddhist deities installed there as forms of Hindu gods.

In the last few months, she has been on a high, with offers for performances within the country and from event management companies in Germany, Netherlands and Dubai. Her fan base has been gradually inching up.

In late-February 1912, a play called Buddha was staged at the Royal Court Theatre in London. This was produced by William Poel, the noted theatre figure best known for his presentations of Shakespeare. The play was adapted for stage by S.C. Bose. It has been speculated that he was Sarat Chandra Bose, the elder brother of Subhas Chandra Bose, and later to become a prominent figure in the Indian freedom movement himself. Sarat Chandra Bose was indeed in London at that time studying law. The evidence, however, is not conclusive. Buddha was a significant success. The driving force behind it was Kedar Nath Das Gupta, who had come to London in 1907 fleeing possible police action against him in Calcutta for having been a revolutionary there. In 1912, Das Gupta would also set up the Indian Art and Dramatic Society, which organized an evening dedicated to the works of Rabindranath Tagore in his presence at the Royal Albert Hall. Tagore would win the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature for his collection of songs called Gitanjali.

Today, about a twenty-minute walk east from the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya stands Sujata Stupa or Sujata Ghar that honours this milkmaid who ended the seven years of self-mortification of Siddhartha Gautama paving the way for his enlightenment.

The Mahayana New Year dates differ for each country based on their customs and traditions. While some Mahayana Buddhists observe the celebration on January 1 alongside the Gregorian New Year, others wait for the full moon of January. The celebration is marked with extensive prayer and honoring the Buddhism gods. Statues of the gods are also shown respect by bathing them. Temples are visited on the Buddhist New Year, and songs of spirituality are sung to the deities. Candles are also lit as a symbol of happiness and luck for the new year.

The concept for the ultimately canceled Kalikori Club venue intended for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge included a Twi'lek proprieter and performer named Gaya, who may have also had ties to the underworld. Her ties to the underworld were later transferred to the character of Oga Garra, owner of Oga's Cantina.[7] One of the songs played at Oga's Cantina since the opening of Galaxy's Edge was credited to a character named Gaya.[6] ff782bc1db
