Explanation

Siddhartha attained enlightenment (bodhi) under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya (then called Uruvela) in modern-day Bihar, after years of ascetic practice and meditation. This event marked the beginning of Buddhism. Kapilvastu was his birthplace, Sarnath is where he gave his first sermon (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta), and Rajagriha was where he spent many rainy seasons later.
