Gaya Trip

Overview

Gaya is an ancient city, with a Buddhist documented history dating back to the 6th century BCE when the Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, 16 km from the modern city. Gaya was a place of pilgrimage for people from around the world. The fame of ancient Gaya derived from the account in the Ramayana of the god Rama coming here to the banks of Phalgu River accompanied by his wife and younger brother, to offer Pind - Daan for their father Dasharatha, for the moksha of his soul. Gaya is named as Gayapuri. As per Hindu belief system, it is believed that a person goes to hell if he dies in the following circumstances - if he meets an accidental death, if he dies without his consecrations being performed, or if he is killed by a wild animal. But, if Shraddha of that person are performed at Gaya then the soul of such a man will get rid of the tortures of the hell and will go to heaven.
