This book offers an overview of the emergence of Bodh Gaya as a
sacred site within Gaya Dharmaksetra. It contextualizes the
different encounters, incidents, and legends connected to the
Buddha's experiences shortly before and after he attained Bodhi -
when, spiritually speaking, he was extremely lonely and was trying
to carve a place for himself in the highly competitive Gaya
Dharmaksetra. Further, the book examines the role of various
personalities and institutions contributed towards the emergence of
Mahabodhi Temple. It incorporates a wealth of research on the role
of the Victorian Indologists as well as the colonial
administrators, the Giri mahants, and Anagarika Dharmapala, to
understand the material milieu pertaining not only to its identity
but also access to spiritual resources as its conservation and
development. This book is an indispensable read for students and
scholars of history, cultural studies, and art and architecture as
well as practitioners of Buddhism and Hinduism.
