Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour

Gaya is one of the famous holy cities of Hindus as well as Buddhists in India. Gaya is situated at a distance of about 100 km from Patna, the capital city of Bihar, on the banks of Falgu river. The city derived its name from the demon Gayasur. According to the legend, Gayasur was killed by Lord Vishnu by pressing his foot over his body, which resulted in the formation of some rocky hills which surrounds Gaya.

There are a number of Ghats on the banks of Falgu river which are believed to be holy. It is believed by the Hindus that their visit to Gaya will result in salvation of the souls of their ancestors. There is a holy ritual, which is performed in Gaya by Hindus, which is known as 'Pinda Dan'. This is also one of the main reasons of Hindu visitors for planning a trip to Gaya.
