Now hardly someone is seen near the peepal tree on the banks of the river

Now, at the place of the Peepalboom on the banks of the dry Niranjana River, is barely seen, where Siddharth Gautama Buddha was formed, it is believed that he has received Sama-Sambodhi (full knowledge). This tree is located in the Mahabodhi temple complex in Bodh Gaya, about 115 km south of Patna, the capital of Bihar. Even within the temple, visitors are scarce. The crowd is a few miles away, which can be seen as a palette of ocher and maroon from afar. The details are carefully revealed: About 300 male monks sit in protest, some women dressed in white clothes, in front of a gold Buddha statue. Under the auspices of the Buddhist Forum (AIBF) of All India, the Buddhist monks have been protesting since February 12, 2025 in the Temple City and demand the cancellation of the Bodh Gaya Temple Act (BT), 1949, which was implemented to regulate the management of the temple and resolve the disputes between Hindus and Buddhists.
