Beneath the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, monks, nuns, and pilgrims gather in long rows for continuous prayer. Their chants rise and fall in steady rhythm, filling the temple grounds with a low, collective hum. Especially during the winter pilgrimage season, thousands come to sit, recite, and reflect at the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment. Prayer beads move through fingers, pages turn, and voices blend—an unbroken expression of devotion, tradition, and shared intention.
