Bodh Gaya, July 7 (ANI): Prayers resumed at the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya, which was rocked by serial blasts, on Sunday evening.
The Mahabodhi Temple complex, which is one of the holiest Buddhist shrines, is
frequented by Buddhist pilgrims from Sri Lanka, China, Japan and the whole of Southeast Asian.
The temple and the Bodhi tree, under which Lord Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment, did not suffer any damage in the blasts.
Nine serial explosions rocked the internationally renowned temple town of Bodhgaya earlier in the day, injuring two monks in the blasts suspected to be engineered by some terrorist organisation.
The blasts took place between 5:30 to 5:58 a.m.
An alert has been issued in the entire state with additional security forces being deployed at all religious places. (ANI)
