Yes. I have a few times visited the Buddha temple and Bodhi tree in (Buddha gaya - Not both Gaya) Gaya when I used to go on Official work.
The Mahabodhi Temple is a Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya, the location where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained enlightenment. Bodh Gaya is located about 96 km (60 miles) from Patna, Bihar state, India. Next to the temple, to its western side, is the holy Bodhi tree.
Mahabodhi Temple is constructed of brick and is one the oldest brick structures to have survived in eastern India. It considered to a fine example of Indian brickwork, and was highly influential in the development of later architectural traditions.
Mahabodhi Temple's central tower rise to 55 metres, built in Gupta period and is surrounded by four smaller towers, constructed in the same style.
Now, Mahabodhi Temple has became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, specifically nominated for the international World heritage program and a tourist spot more than that of religious place. -
