Buddha's Walk

Mahabodhi Temple, Bodhgaya

The west side of the temple (looking north, in this photo) within the railing is the traditional site of Buddha's Walk, where he paced up and down after his enlightenment. Atop the pavement is a long table decked with the flower offerings that are used around the temple. Every day hundreds and hundreds of bees, attracted by the scent of the flowers, end their current lives on this pavement.
