Buddhism, the fourth largest religion in the world, has it primary roots in
India. Born in 563 B. C, Prince Siddharta, after years of hard meditation,
attained enlightenment and thus came to known as Buddha meaning the
enlightened one. At the age of 29, Buddha left his wife, children and the
regime in order to seek truth. After leaving worldly pleasures he traveled
from place to place, until he attained enlightenment by way of tough
meditation under the Bodhi tree. In 535 B.C attained enlightenment and
founded the Buddhist religion in Northern India. The major places that
Buddha visited during his search of truth, are now famous as Buddhist sites.
One can visit those important Buddhist sites on Buddhist Tours. Visit
