Gajumaru Tree in Gaya

Mountain over there is where Buddha meditated for 6 years before he came to Buddha Gaya.
Buddha rested under this big Gajumaru Tree for 1 day, it is called as Totoro's tree by Japanese cartoon mania.



The master of "Blue Lotus" said that the bomb blasts at Bodh Gaya Mahabodhi Temple were made by Indian government, weren't made by any other citizens. He had been selling mascots in front of the Mahabodhi Temple before the blasts, but the Indian government wanted to remove their shops, made the bomb blasts and removed these shops. He didn't want to move and was against to government for a long time, but after the bomb blasts, his shop also must move out from the street. The bomb blasts didn't destroy any valuable things in the temple, only some no worthy things are crushed(and soon repaired) and nobody died because it occurred in early morning about 5 o'clock and not so big blasts, they were only big sounds(4 places blasts in 20 minutes). He said that it was occurred by time bombers because nobody find the criminal, occurred by Indian government!

Now is not off(very hot) season, and a lot of people are visiting to Bodh Gaya. Mahabodhi Temple's open time is 5:00 - 21:00, free to enter but one camera costs 100Rs to bring into the temple. We must have security check before entering the temple so we can't bring dangerous things into the temple. I haven't paid the 100 Rs so I don't have any photos in Mahabodhi Temple yet. A lot of foreign temples in Bodh Gaya were invited by President Nehru. Near these temples, there are a lot of shops selling mascots from 10 Rs especially discounting in front of Chinese temple. Maybe Chinese people are very dry to these shops^^.
