Explanation

Bodh Gaya in Bihar is where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, becoming the Buddha. This event is central to Buddhist tradition and occurred around 500 BCE. Kushinagar is where Buddha attained Parinirvana (death), while Rishikesh is associated with Hinduism and yoga, not Buddha's enlightenment. The Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya marks this sacred site.
