The flyblown and densely packed town of Gaya, is 13 km away from Bodhgaya. Gaya is one of the most important pilgrimage places for the Hindus. It is believed that a Hindu will reach heaven if his last rites are offered under the celebrated 'Akshayabat' standing in the yard of Vishnupad temple. Inside the temple the 40-cm long 'footprint' of Vishnu is imprinted in solid rock and surrounded by a silver-plated basin. |
