Sujata Garh Tourism

Type of destination: Historical Landmark

Ideal visit duration: 1-2 hours

Closed in: Open all year

Sujata Garh in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, is an ancient stupa located in the village of Bakraur across the Niranjana River. According to legend, it is the site where Sujata, a village girl, offered a bowl of kheer (rice pudding) to Prince Siddhartha, who was emaciated from years of ascetic practices. This act of kindness and the nutritious meal helped revitalize him, leading to his realization under the Bodhi Tree, where he attained enlightenment to become the Buddha. The stupa, though now in ruins, stands as a testament to this significant event in Buddhist history. Visitors can explore the serene surroundings and reflect on Buddha's journey towards enlightenment. Nearby, the Sujata Kuti temple, dedicated to the same historic figure, provides further insight into the local lore and Buddhist heritage of the region.
