Bodh Gaya in 1930’s
January 23, 2008
From The Secret Museum an image of Bodh Gaya in the early 1900’s (?) 
I have two copies of one of these little volumes. Ian Macky at Secret Museum of Mankind has scanned and put up all the pictures - an astounding bit of work. Thank you!

from frank’s big adventure:
“The main temple, Mahabodhi Temple, which sits on the grounds where the Buddha had been for 7 weeks, was the epicenter of the town. I sat and just soaked it all in for a couple hours. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was built around 250 B.C. and it’s huge, towering over 50 meters high. The restoration/preservation work is remarkable and the presence of devoted Buddhists repeatedly prostrating towards it from all sides generates an amazing energy.”
