Pilgrimage of the Buddhist
sites in India are mainly located in two states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. For travellers wanting
to tread the path of the Buddha, the journey begins at either of the two entry points to the circuit,
Patna in Bihar or Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. From the point of entry into India at one of the four metros,
Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai (Madras) or Mumbai (Bombay), it is best for the visitor to travel to either
Patna or Varanasi. They are both well connected by air and rail to all the metros and make ideal
gateways for visiting the Buddhist sacred sites. Patna, the capital of Bihar provides easy access
to the most imnportant centre of Buddhism, Bodhgaya. Rajgir, Nalanda and Vaishali, the other important
sites, are also easily accessible from Patna. Varanasi, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, is only 10 km from
Sarnath. Buddha's birthplace, Lumbini (now in Nepal), Kushinagar, and the sacred sites of Kapilavastu
and Sravasti can also be covered. Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar constitute the
Dharma Yatra. Rajgir, Sravasti and Vaishali are the places which are associated with the life
of the Buddha. Nalanda is the site of the famous Buddhist monastery, 11 kms from Rajgir.
Lumbini is the place of the Buddha's birth, and at Kushinagar, at the age of eighty,
he left his earthly body and attained Mahaparinirvana.
