Tour Highlights:

Below is the detailed outline of the places that you will explore in the Gaya Varanasi Prayagraj Ayodhya tour, ensuring a complete and spiritually immersive experience: 

Gaya:

Gaya situated in Bihar, holds immense spiritual significance in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is believed that offering Pind Daan (rituals for the souls of the departed) here ensures moksha for ancestors. Some must-visit places:

• Mahabodhi Temple: It is a most revered site in Buddhism. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is believed to be the place where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became the Lord Buddha. This temple is the symbol of Buddhist teachings and the complex is a blend of Indian, Burmese, Chinese and Thai architectural styles. Thousands of pilgrims visit here to follow the Buddha’s teachings of compassion, wisdom, and inner peace.
• Vishnupad Temple: It is a sacred Hindu temple where Lord Vishnu’s 40 cm long footprint is enshrined in a rock known as Dharmashila. This temple is located on the banks of the Falgu River and is mentioned in the Vishnupad Temple. This is the key location for Pind Daan as it is believed to be the place where Lord Rama did his father Dasharatha’s Pind Daan. 
• Falgu River: Also known as Niranjana, the Falgu River is associated with both Hindus and Buddhists and is believed to flow underground. This is a sacred site where Pind Daan is performed to ensure peace and the salvation of ancestors. While Buddhists believed that Gautam Buddha practiced asceticism on the river banks before attaining enlightenment.
• Sujata Village: Sujata village is located in Bakraur near Bodh Gaya and has a significant place in Buddhist history. According to legends, it is the place where a Sujata, a local woman, offered milk and rice to milk to Gautama Buddha that helped him to regain his strength after six years of intense asceticism. A stupa, known as Sujata Stupa or Sujata Kuti Stupa, was built in the village to pay homage to Sujata’s kindness.
• Dungeshwari Hills: Also known as Mahakala Caves, Dungeshwari Hills hold religious and historical importance in both Hinduism and Buddhism. It is the place where Lord Buddha meditated for six years before attaining enlightenment in Bodh Gaya. One of the cave temples is dedicated to the goddess Dungeshwari, also known as Goddess Durga. The presence of Hindu shrines and Buddhist stupas alongside indicates the harmonious co-existence of both religions and attracts pilgrims to explore both. 

Varanasi: 

Varanasi or Kashi, Banaras,  is one of the oldest living cities in the world. It is the spiritual heart of India where the Ganges cleanses the souls and the sacred flames of devotion never dim. Kashi Gaya Prayag Ayodhya tour package is incomplete without exploring the ghats, ancient temples, and spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi. Here are the top attractions of Varanasi that you will explore in this itinerary: 

• Kashi Vishwanath Temple: Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and a core spiritual destination. The temple holds immense religious values and is believed to be a place where prayers are potent and the veil between the earthly and divine realms is thin. Nestled along the ghats of the Ganga, the temple’s golden spire and sacred energy offer a divine experience. Pilgrims believe that a visit here grants moksha, making it one of the most sacred places in India.
